3.7 How Do I Use Network Maps?

The Network Map is organized into a multilevel hierarchy that corresponds to the structure of the Domain Explorer and Subnetwork Explorer trees. The Network Map hierarchy consists of management domains, subnetworks, groups, and NEs, which are displayed graphically.

Network map backgrounds are provided by default as part of CTM, and are used to display a geographical layout of the network.

The Network Map consists of three areas:

The right side displays a map with the individual groups, NEs, and link icons.

The upper left side displays the position of the map on the right side with respect to a larger world map.

The lower left side displays the domain, or group properties, including the number of alarms and the ID.

This section contains the following information:
