The Active System Manager software includes four preset Links view filters:
• Managed to Managed (resource to resource links)—Displays the links created between two
managed resources.
• Managed to Control—Displays the links between the interface of a managed resource to the interface
of a control resource.
• Contr
ol to Managed—Displays the links between the interface of a control resource to the interface
of a managed resource.
• Contr

You can also create additional custom filters to determine if one resource is connected to another resource.
For example, to view everything connected to a matrix switch, create a filter containing the name or model
of the matrix switch.
When you apply a filter, synchronization automatically turns off, and vice versa.
