Chapter 4 Building the Network
How Do I Build Network Maps?
4.5.3.2 Modifying a Map Background
Step 1 In the Domain Explorer Hierarchy pane, click a node and choose File > Network Map. See Figure 4-2.
Step 2 In the Network Map window, click in the map background and choose Edit > Change Map Background
or right-click in the map background and choose Change Map Background. The Select Background
Map dialog box appears.
Step 3 Select a background image from within the default file system at
C:\Cisco\MediaGatewayManagerClient\images\mapbkgnds for Windows systems or at
/opt/CiscoMGMClient/images/mapbkgnds for Unix systems. Add user-defined images in this file
system, or click Create New Folder and save user-defined images in a customized folder within this
directory.
Step 4 After choosing a map background, click Open. The new map background appears in the Network Map.
Step 5 Choose File > Save to save the changes.
Note When you add NEs or groups to a group or to the top-level domain, the coordinates of those objects on
the related Network Map are initially null, so Cisco MGM automatically positions the objects. If you
move an object manually and save the map, the object has fixed coordinates. Therefore, if you open a
map and find an icon in an unexpected position, the object most likely was never positioned manually
and saved and was therefore positioned automatically. To fix the icon location, manually move the object
to the correct position and save the map.
4.5.4 Saving Changes to the Network Map
Step 1 In the Domain Explorer Hierarchy pane, click a node and choose File > Network Map. See Figure 4-2.
Step 2 After making the necessary changes to the map background, node icon, and node coordinates in the
Network Map window, you can save your settings by using one of the following methods:
• Save—Choose File > Save (or click the Save Changes tool) to save your settings. Your settings
become a custom map that does not affect the default map for the nodes currently displayed in the
Network Map. Users who have not saved their custom map will still see the default map for those
nodes.
• Save As Default—Choose File > Save As Default to save your settings as the default settings. Your
settings become the default map for the nodes under subgroups currently displayed in the Network
Map and this default map is seen by users who have not saved their custom map for those nodes.
There can only be one default setting per group of nodes in the Network Map.
Note The Save As Default menu option is disabled on the Cisco MGM Management Domain
node.
Save As Default is only available for nodes under sub-groups.
