How to use Path Search in Forward Enterprise

Can traffic get from A to B? If not, exactly where and why does it stop? This walkthrough shows you how to answer both with Path Search in Forward Enterprise.

Path Search traces traffic across a mathematical model of your network built from collected configuration and state. It doesn't send live packets or probes. Forward indexes all possible paths, then returns the paths that match your query, with the forwarding, policy, and NAT decisions applied at every hop.
