Plotnetcfg is a Linux utility that you can use to scan the networking configuration on a server and output the configuration hierarchy to a file. Plotnetcfg is most useful when troubleshooting complex virtual networks with all sorts of bonds and bridges, the likes of which you will find on KVM nodes, or OpenStack Controller nodes.

You can install plot on RHEL/Centos as shown below.

# yum -y plotnetcfg.x86_64

You will also want to install the “dot” command which is installed with graphiz. See below.

# yum -y install graphviz.x86_64

Now that the bits and pieces are installed we can run the command below which outputs to PDF file named file.pd

# plotnetcfg | dot -Tpdf > file.pd

If you want to, you can also use “convert” to convert the PDF to a jpg. For example, I exported to jpg to embed below.

Super clean, and super easy to read and understand
