The Network Validation Tool (NVT) for IDPA runs automated tests to validate the network configuration. You must run the NVT for IDPA from a system on the management network. Before you install IDPA, complete the network configuration for the data center. After the network requirements are met for the appliance, you must install and run the NVT to validate the network requirements and deployment of the IDPA in the data center. To download the NVT, and for more information about NVT, see the IDPA support page.
