What is a P2V file

P2V files mostly belong to Cisco Prime Network Registrar. P2V files are compressed archives that hold network diagram data used by network management tools. Internally, they are based on a ZIP format and contain a Visio network report or a network diagram container.
These files are mainly created by systems such as Cisco Prime Network Registrar and can also be seen in environments from Ciena OnePlan. They package the diagram data—including XML files and images—into one file.
To open a P2V file, you can use a standard ZIP extractor. Tips:
  • If your software does not recognize the extension, try renaming it to .zip.
  • After extraction, open the Visio component with Microsoft Visio or a compatible viewer.
