For more information about using HP Toptools for Hubs & Switches, refer to the Hubs and Switches User Guide in
the manuals directory of the Toptools CD.

Displaying Topology Maps

When Toptools is started, the discovery process discovers the devices on your network. This information is used by
the topology process to create network topology maps. Two maps are created automatically:

A map showing bridges, switches and segments

A map showing the entire network.

- NOTE -

Your hubs and switches must have their SNMP read and

write communities set to ‘public’ for your devices to be mapped.
