DCNM - NBM-Passive (Media Design)

[ebnyc]

Any reason to install DCNM if fabrics are set to nbm-passive and the third-party Broadcast controller uses APIs exposed by the fabric for flow control, mcast management, etc.? Does DCNM bring any toolsets for Cisco IP fabrics used for Media workflow and set to NBM-Passive mode?

I'm wondering about this as well, but I do believe that the DCNM will be able to provide better insight and statistics then the 3rd party system. I would expect that one more or less needs DCNM to really gain the benefits of "Media Flow Analytics".

Have you tried it yet with the NBM passive-mode? I cannot see to find anything in terms of configuring it yet.
