IP topology view manager
The topology view manager enables you to choose how to view devices in your network. Topology
views only contain devices included in your area of responsibility (AOR).
To display topology views in the Management application, make sure you meet the following
requirements.
•
Make sure that all IronWare OS or Network OS devices on the network have the Foundry
Discovery Protocol (FDP) or Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) enabled so that connections
between devices display. To enable FDP or LLDP using the Configuration Wizard, refer to
NOTE
FDP is not supported in an IPv6 network; therefore, you must enable LLDP on the devices to
displays link in a L2 topology.
•
Make sure that all non-IronWare OS or Network OS devices have LLDP or the Cisco Discovery
Protocol (CDP) enabled so that connections between devices display.
•
Make sure all devices display under the Network Object tree. If they do not display, you should
run discovery or add the devices manually in the Discover Setup IP dialog box.
•
Make sure you have the appropriate privilege (IP - Main Display - Ethernet Fabric, IP - Main
Display - IP, IP - Main Display - L2, IP - Main Display - MRP, or IP - Main Display - VLAN) for the
topology map you want to view. For more information about privileges, refer to
