5.1 Network topology map overview
Several network topology maps are available on the 5620 SAM.
The maps display network objects. You can open contextual menus and submenus to
open forms with additional information. For more information about topology maps,
see the 5620 SAM User Guide.
The maps can be used for provide a view of the network from different perspectives
for monitoring and troubleshooting activities. Depending on your requirements, the
maps can display a low-level equipment and interface network view, or a specific
customer or service view. One or many maps can be open at the same time.
Table 5-1 lists the maps that are available and how they are accessed.
Table 5-1 5620 SAM map views
The maps represent interfaces, paths, managed devices, and unmanaged devices, as
described in Table 5-2.
