The system mapping capability of the topology page enables end users to view system
configuration and health all on one page. WESII topology shows the links between
different Station/Clients and Host/APs. System mapping supports dynamic changes in

the topology webpage.
Along with system mapping, the topology view also displays all node information; this
can be viewed by holding your mouse over a particular node and radio. Node hover over
will display following node information:
• Node IP address
• Bridge MAC address
• Root bridge information
• Gateway information
• Radio up/down status
• Radio Host/Client role
• Connected peer information

updates accordingly.
