The OpenStack Network Infrastructure dashboard provides you with a high level view of the networking infrastructure.
The networking infrastructure is only available if you are using NSX for vSphere as your networking component, and you have configured the NSX for vSphere adapter. If you are not using NSX for vSphere as your networking component, this dashboard will not display any information.
