NMS Submaps
On these maps, the NMS creates icons that represent managed nodes and Proxy
Agents and also creates lines to represent connections between each Proxy
Agent and its associated managed nodes. The NMS has the capability to produce
three different submap options to depict a DEFINITY system. This allows you to
organize managed nodes by geographic location or in a customized fashion as
well as with one all-encompassing, generic map.
The icons on these submaps change colors to identify alarm states for Proxy
Agents and alerts for managed nodes. The lines change colors to indicate
changes in the connection states between Proxy Agents and their associated
managed nodes.
