aIn the map, select one of the links between one of the routers that contain the WAN interfaces that are logically connected to each other and the cloud that is being used to represent the logical group.

bLaunch the Properties dialog box for that link by selecting Properties from the right-click menu of the link.

cSelect the Ports tab.

dDetermine whether the router is shown in the From Port frame or the To Port frame.

eClick the Set button in the frame that shows the router to launch the Set Port dialog box.

fIn the Set Port dialog box select the appropriate unit and interface number of the interface on the router that is part of the logical grouping.

gClose the Set Port dialog box by clicking OK.

hClose the Properties dialog box by clicking OK.

iRepeat this process for each of the other links between the routers that contain the WAN interfaces that are logically connected to each other and the cloud that is being used to represent the logical group.

You may find that there are logical connections between the logical groups you have created. For example, you may have created two logical groupings to represent two different ISPs that you use for Internet connectivity.

If you wish to represent this connectivity within the map then you can manually add a link between the two clouds representing the ISPs. Alternatively you may even add a third cloud, name it “Internet” and then manually add links from each of the two clouds representing the ISPs to the new “Internet” cloud.

Note that these links between clouds represent logical connections only and so cannot be monitored.

Restoring WAN Interface Representations after a Manual Layout of WAN Topology

During the manual layout of WAN topology, you may have had to delete a link between a router and the Default WAN cloud that represented other WAN interfaces in addition to the one that you were changing the
