By default, device icons will be labeled by the MIB-II sysName (if one has been assigned) or, if no name has been assigned, by IP address. You can change the icon name via the Device Properties window; for more detailed, see Editing Device Properties in Chapter 4, List Views.

Customizing Your Map

In addition to the manageable nodes described in the sections above, your maps can also contain a variety of non-manageable graphical objects that can help you create a better visual display of your network configuration. Alignment and layering tools are also provided that allow you to organize and align map objects with the click of a mouse button. Drawing, layering, and alignment tools are available either from the toolbar (see Figure 6-20) or from the Draw and Layout menus on the primary window menu bar.
