Topology View

When Network Assistant connects to a community or a cluster, the Topology view appears by default. If you change this default, you can see the Topology view by clicking Topology view on the toolbar or by choosing Monitor > Views > Topology.

Note You can change the preferences in Network Assistant to show the Front Panel view by default by choosing Application > Preferences > Show Front Panel View when connected to network. If you do not want Network Assistant to show the Topology view by default, deselect Show Topology View when connected to a network.

The Topology view shows how the devices within a community or a cluster are connected. If you manage a community, you can see the VLAN links by highlighting them. You can make neighboring devices members of the community or cluster, or you can remove members.

The Topology view in Figure 2-3shows the members of a community and the neighboring devices discovered by Network Assistant. When you right-click a device or a link icon, a popup window appears.
