Figure 30: Map View of a Device Group
The main components of an Ridgeline Map View are the following:
Device Group A set of devices that have been placed in an Ridgeline group hierarchy
In Ridgeline, you can create groups of ports and devices, although topology maps are
supported for device groups only. See Chapter 3, “Organizing Devices and Ports Into
Groups” for information about creating device groups.
A device group hierarchy has one top-level group and can have multiple levels of
subgroups below it. When a map is created, Ridgeline creates separate maps for the
top-level group, as well as for any subgroups.
Map View The graphical representation of the devices and links in the currently selected device
group or subgroup. Selecting a device in the Map View causes the corresponding row
in the Navigation Table to be selected.
Navigation Table Table of information about the objects displayed in the Map View. Selecting a device in
the Navigation Table causes the corresponding icon in the Map View to be selected,
and detailed information about the selected device to be displayed in the device details
window.
You can click on the tabs in the Navigation Table to display information about the
devices, links, VLANs, and EAPS rings in the device group.
