Abstract

Methods and systems for verifying that a virtual network is properly configured are described. Configuration information from devices in the virtual network is received. The configuration information is compared against reference information. The reference information represents the design of the virtual network. Discrepancies between the configuration of the devices and the design of the virtual network are identified.
