Topology Map View


Double-click on a map in the Map list to display a graphical view of the network.

The IP subnet map shown above displays all of the segments and managed routers, switches and bridges that form
the subnet boundaries. IPX managed bridges that are located in the source IP network are also displayed. To drill
down to the end node level, double-click on a segment.

Move your cursor over a device to display a ‘tool tip’ with information about the name, IP address, and status of the
device. Right-click on the device to display the device popup Action menu. The Properties menu item launches
Device View. The SNMP/Trap Configuration menu item launches a dialog that lets you configure thresholds and
trap receivers for the device. This menu item appears only for devices that are manageable by browser and is only
accessible to a console session launched locally on the Toptools server .
