The Component Tree
The left side panel shows the Component Tree. The Component Tree is a nested tree that
displays the components known to the EPICenter database that are relevant to the active
module. The Component Tree displays different sets of components depending on which
EPICentermodule you are viewing.
For example, in the Inventory Manager, the Component Tree shows all the Extreme and
third-party devices known to the EPICenter. In the VLAN Manager, the Component Tree
displaysVLANs,asshowninFigure 3-7.In theTopologyview,theComponentTreeshows
the nested maps within a topology view.
If a component in the tree has a plus sign to its left, that means there are subcomponents
nested below it.For example,if the component is a VLAN, then ithas Extreme switches as
subcomponents. The switches, in turn, have ports as subcomponents.
◆ Click on the plus sign to display the nested subcomponents.
The plus sign changes to a minus sign.
◆ Click on the minus sign to hide the subcomponent list.
