Viewing devices through the network topology

Similar to Network Topology(Applet), Network Topology (HTML5) provides a graphical view of the

health and status of network connectivity and devices, allowing you to quickly and easily locate, monitor,
modify, and manage network devices directly from this graphical representation of the network.
You can use a browser to open the HTML5 topology and you do not need to install a Java plugin that is

needed for opening the Applet topology.
The HTML5 topology only supports the IP view and the custom view.

Accessing the network topology

To access the network topology:

1.

Click the Resource tab from the tabular navigation system on the top.

2.

Click View Management on the navigation tree on the left.

3.

Click Network Topology under View Management from the navigation system on the left.

Navigating the network topology interface

Upon a successful auto discovery, IMC automatically generates topology maps and organizes

discovered devices into topology views based on the groupings found. The groupings are navigated

using the topology navigation system located on the left of the Network Topology map. To expand the

groupings displayed on the left navigation system, click the expand icon .
The created topology groupings include:

Custom Topology—Contains topology views for the custom views that the operator has
management rights to and contains the custom views that you have been granted access to as well

as any custom views that have been created.

IP Topology—Contains topology views of devices grouped by IP address.

The navigation tree on the left allows you to move quickly to the particular view displayed in the

navigation tree.
For example, clicking one of the custom views you have created opens a new tab in the main pane and

displays all of the device icons for the devices in the selected Custom Topology.
Clicking one of the IP Topology opens a new tab in the main pane and displays all of the devices in the

selected IP Topology group.
