The **Network** **Explorer** tab displays everything NetMRI learns about the network. Network Explorer is a good starting point for inspecting the results of a Network Discovery process, viewing the topology of the discovered network, viewing the operational state of individual network devices (through a feature called the **Device** **Viewer**), and obtaining views of how the network is behaving in different locations in the topology.

See the following tabs within the **Network** **Explorer** tab that offer different ways to examine network data:

- **Inventory**: This tab provides basic information about devices, interfaces, operating systems, and models in the network.
- **Summaries**: This tab lists routes (for all routing protocols), subnetworks, Route Targets, Network Views, VRFs (Virtual Routing and Forwarding instances), VLANs, HSRPs/VRRPs, and TCP/UDP port usage in the network.
- **Topology**: This tab provides an interactive viewer for exploring your network's structure.
- **Discovery**: This tab provides detailed information about NetMRI's discovery processes, including the ability to affect Discovery settings for individual devices, perform/repeat Discovery on a single device, set licensing for a managed device, and remove a device from NetMRI management. For more information on device-related Discovery functions, see *[Viewing Device Discovery Status and Re-Discovering a Device](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/netmri761/pages/1056869308)*.
