IP Topology view
The IP Topology view displays a map of the devices on your network. To display the topology map
for IP, you must have the IP - Main Display - IP privilege. For more information about privileges, refer

•“Topology map layout” on page317.
For more information about functions you can perform on the topology map, refer to “Topology Map

L2 Topology view
The L2 Topology view displays a map of the Layer 2 traffic for devices on your network. The links on
the map show physical links between physical ports of devices. If devices have more than one
physical link between them, all physical links display on the topology map. To display the topology
map for Layer2, you must have the IP - Main Display - L2 privilege. For more information about
privileges, refer to “User Privileges” on page1283.
The L2 Topology view Product List has two categories, System Groups and User-defined Groups.
System Groups has only All IP Pro ducts as a category, which contains all IP products in the system.
User-defined Groups contain all user-defined product groups with Topology Display enabled. Each
user-defined product group shows the products contained within that product group.
For more information about the components and customization of the topology map, refer to the

•“Topology map elements” on page315.
•“Topology map layout” on page317.
