Device and link monitoring through the left mouse click

To display information about a node or link, left-click the selected node or link on the topology map. The

information displayed varies based on the node or link type selected.
To select a node or link, click the node or link using the left mouse button. Some of the information

displayed provides links that allow you to drill down into IMC features or perform certain actions.

Device Label—This field contains the IMC name for the device that is assigned during the
configuration. If the device has a sysName at the time of configuration, this name becomes the

Device Label.
The device label serves as an active link for drilling down into the Device Details page, which
provides convenient access to device management features. The Device Details page loads in the
browser instance that originally launched the topology maps, not in the browser instance that has

the topology maps loaded.

IP Address—Contains the management IP address of the device.

Mask—Contains the mask of the management IP address.

Device Status—Contains the latest status of the device. Status is determined by the highest severity
or alarm level for the device, when a device has more than one current alarm that has not been

cleared or recovered. Gray device icons indicate the device is unmanaged.

SysName—Contains the name that is configured on the device.

Vendor—Contains the device vendor's name.

Runtime—Contains the total operating time of the device. The value is obtained in last polling and
accurate to the millisecond.

Last Poll—Contains the time when IMC last polled the device. For information about setting the
device polling period, see "

Using batch mode to configure polling intervals

Link Name—Contains a name for the link if one is available. Otherwise, a device label displays.

Link Type—Contains information about the link type.
