To provide the information for the flows between physical devices, you can import the DNS mapping file. The supported formats for the DNS mapping file are the Bind and CSV file format. Ensure that you have placed these files in a single ZIP file.

Note: vRealize Network Insight does not support the password-protected ZIP files.
