How Do I Navigate within Cisco MGM?
2.1.1.3.3 NE Authentication Tab
The NE Authentication tab allows you to specify usernames and passwords for Cisco MGM server.
Table 2-7 describes the fields in the NE Authentication tab. Fields shown depend on the type of NE
selected.
2.1.2 Navigating Physical Views
The Physical View is a hierarchical tree that can be found in certain Cisco MGM applications; namely,
the Chassis View, Statistics Report, Configuration Center, and Diagnostic Center (for details about these
applications, see section 2.3 What Are the General Features of Cisco MGM?, page 2-14.)
The Physical View shows the entire managed network. To expand or minimize the hierarchy, click the
looking glass icon next to any node. Nodes are color-coded to represent the highest severity alarm on
each node.
2.1.3 Using Network Maps
The Network Map window allows you to display how the network is partitioned graphically. It is
organized into a multilevel hierarchy that corresponds to the structure of the Domain Explorer trees. The
Network Map hierarchy consists of management domains, groups, and NEs, which are displayed
graphically.
You can launch the Network Map either by clicking on the Open Network Map tool in the Domain
Explorer toolbar, or by choosing File > Network Map. A map appears with individual groups and NE
icons.
Double-clicking a group expands that group to show its contents. Clicking Show Parent Network Map
returns you to the parent map. When you launch the Network Map from a particular group in the Domain
Explorer, the Network Map opens with the contents of the group displayed.
