IP topology map components
9
The following list describes the basic elements included in a topology map.
• IP devices — This node displays as a blue box. To view all IP product icons, refer to “IP product
icons” on page 381. Double-click a product icon to display the Properties dialog box. For more
information, refer to “IP device properties” on page 1976.
• Third-party devices — This node displays as a gray box.
• Subnets — This node displays as a blue circle. Double-click a subnet to display the devices
within the subnet.
• Layer 2 Clouds — This node displays as a blue cloud. When two or more devices with FDP or
LLDP enabled connect to a device or network without FDP or LLDP capability, the L2 cloud icon
is displayed to represent the connection between the device types. This icon means that
IronWare OS or Network OS devices are not directly connected to each other and each
IronWare OS or Network OS device does not have Layer 2 information from other devices.
• Interface connections — The connections between nodes (devices, IP Subnets, or Layer 2
clouds) display as a gray line. The numbers on the line show the ports or virtual routing
interfaces that form the connection.
• Missing interface connections — A dashed line indicates a missing connection.
• Trunks — Each trunk (MCT or ICL) displays as a straight line with circles at each end.
Viewing flyovers on the topology map
The Management application allows you to enable flyover display on Topology Maps. To enable
flyover display, refer to
“Turning flyovers on or off” on page 182.
• Device node — Mouse over to view the display name, IP address, and status of the device.
• Connections — Flyover display varies depending on the type of connection.
- Interface connection — Mouse over to display IP address and port number for each end of
the connection.
- Trunk connection — Mouse over to display the truck group identifier and the IP address,
port number, and type of trunk (MCT or ICL) for each end of the connection.
- Layer 2 Cloud connections — Mouse over to display IP address for each end of the
connection.
