Topology Map View: From the Show drop-down list, click the option that displays the data that you would like to see on the map.
If Topology is selected, devices and links in the network are displayed.

Show Hide: From the drop-down list, click the network layers you want displayed on the map. All devices and links that belong to the
selected layers are then displayed. By default, all layers are displayed.

Topology Map: The network topology can be displayed on a logical map or a geographical map, where the devices and links are shown in their
geographic context. From the map, you can drill down to get detailed information about devices and links.
Devices:
-
To view a device configuration summary, hover the mouse cursor over the device icon. A pop up window displaying the host name,
state, node ID, and device type appears.
-
To view device details, click on the device icon.
-
If devices are in close physical proximity, the geographical map shows them as a cluster. The number in a blue circle ( ) indicates the number of devices in the cluster. Displaying devices in this manner helps prevent overlap and clutter on the
map.
Links:
-
A solid line indicates a single link between two devices. If there is more than one link between two devices, or between a device and a cluster of devices, the
line is shown dashed instead. A dashed line indicates an aggregated link that represents more than one link, or the use of multiple protocols (for example, IPv4 and IPv6) on the same physical
link.
-
A and Z indicates headend and endpoint, respectively.
-
To view link information details, click on the link.
Note
|
Although aggregated, dual stack links show as one single line.

: The logical map shows devices and their links, positioned according to an automatic layout algorithm, ignoring their geographical
location. You can change the layout algorithm.
: The geographical map shows single devices, device clusters, links, and tunnels, superimposed on a map of the world. Each
device location on the map reflects the device's GPS coordinates (longitude and latitude) as defined in the device inventory.
: The Display Preferences window allows you to change display settings for devices, links, .

The Mini Dashboard provides a summary of the IP Domain and device reachability status. If filters are applied, the Mini Dashboard is updated to reflect what is displayed in the Devices table.
Note
|
If the Alarm Status feature is enabled, you will also see Alarm information here. To view the Alarm Status, you must install
the Common EMS Services application and configure host information for Syslog and SNMP traps on the devices you want to view
alarms for. The Alarm Status feature is available for select licensing packages.
