688CHAPTER 17: USING 3COM NETWORK DIRECTOR ON A MULTI-SITE NETWORK

Manual Layout of If you have further details of the WAN topology in your network, such as WAN Topology which interfaces on which routers correspond to each other for

point-to-point connections, then you may wish to correct the default manner in which the WAN topology is displayed in your map to reflect these details.

There are two basic changes that you may wish to make to the displayed

WAN topology:

■Connecting the ends of point-to-point interfaces to each other directly.

■Grouping logically connected interfaces together.

Both of these changes must be made manually in the map, by deleting and adding links and by adding clouds, and are discussed in detail below.

After you have completed your changes to the displayed WAN topology:

■You may find that the Default WAN cloud is no longer linked to any other map items. If this is the case then you may delete the cloud from the map without affecting the displayed WAN topology by selecting it in the map and then selecting Edit > Delete.

■If you have not made any manual changes to the layout of your map then you may wish to relayout the map, as the altered WAN topology may improve the automatic layout. To relayout your map automatically select View > Relayout.

Connecting Point-to-Point WAN Interfaces Together

If you have discovered both routers at either end of the point-to-point connection then you can link them directly to each other in the following manner:

1Remove both routers’ links to the Default WAN cloud by: a Locate the two routers in the map.

b Select their links to the Default WAN cloud. Ensure that nothing else is selected in the map.

c Select Edit > Delete, and confirm the deletion.

Note that either of these two links may represent more than one WAN interface. If that is the case then deleting the link will remove the map representation of all of those WAN interfaces. See “Restoring WAN
