Displaying Managed Devices on the Map
A device node represents a device that is managed by Security Manager. You add a device node to a map
by selecting the device from the Security Manager inventory.
When you add a device node to a map, its layer 3 connectivity to other nodes on the map is created
automatically. For more information, see Creating and Managing Layer 3 Links on the Map, page34-19.
You can add, remove, or show managed nodes by the following means:
•To add devices that are already in the Security Manager inventory—Select Map > Show
Devices on Map to open a device selector. Select the desired devices from the list of available
devices and click >> to move them to the selected devices list. You can select device groups to move
all devices in the group. Click OK when the list of selected devices has the desired nodes. Only those
devices in the selected list are shown on the map.
You can remove devices by selecting them in the selected list and clicking <<.
•To add a new device to the map and the device inventory—Click the New Device button in the
map toolbar or right-click the map background and select New Device. The New Device dialog box
opens. Follow the procedures for adding new devices described in Adding Devices to the Device
Inventory, page3-6.
•To remove a managed node—Right-click the node and select Remove from Map.
•To locate a device on the open map when in Device view—Right-click the device in the device
selector and select Show in Map view. If the device is shown on the active map, it is shown centered
and highlighted on the undocked map. You are told that the device cannot be found if the device is
not shown on the active map.
•To locate a device in Device view from the map—Right-click the device and select Show in
Device View. Device view is opened with the device selected so that you can edit its policies.
