Network Configuration Change Simulation
SUMMARY You can use a topology model to define virtual network models based on your existing network. You can create a network model that is based on a series of modifications that can be combined and configured.
You can use a topology model to determine the effect of configuration changes on your network by using a simulation.
Topology models provide the following key functions:
- Create virtual topologies for testing network changes.
- Simulate attacks against virtual networks.
- Lower risk and exposure to protected assets through testing.
- Virtual network segments that you can use to confine and test sensitive portions of your network or assets.
To simulate a network configuration change, do the following tasks:
- Create a topology model.
- Simulate an attack against the topology model.
