12-2 ExtremeWare EPICenter Software Installation and User Guide
Network Topology Views
In addition, from a managed device node on the map, you can invoke other EPICenter
functions such as the alarm browser, Telnet, real-time statistics, a front panel view, or
ExtremeWare Vista for the selected device.
Maps are initially created in a default layout based on information in EPICenter’s device
inventory about the devices and their connectivity. You can customize the layouts into
hierarchical views using drag and drop or cut and paste. You can also add and remove
“decorative” nodes (nodes that aren’t discovered or managed by EPICenter) and links.
Displaying a Network Topology View
Click the Topology button in the EPICenter Navigation Toolbar to display the main
Topology View page, as shown in Figure 12-1.
If you have not yet performed a Discovery (i.e. there are no devices in EPICenter’s
Inventory database) the map will be blank.
