Arranging Switches in the Display

You can arrange individual switch icons in the topology display or allow SANsurfer Switch Manager to arrange all switch icons for you:

To move an individual switch icon, click and drag the icon to another location in the graphic window. Links stretch or contract to remain connected.

To arrange all switch icons in the topology display automatically, open the View menu and select Layout Topology.

By default, the Toggle Auto Layout box in the View menu is checked which causes SANsurfer Switch Manager to arrange the icons when you select Layout Topology.

You can save a custom arrangement, or layout, and restore that layout during a SANsurfer Switch Manager session. Begin by arranging the icons, then open the View menu and select Remember Layout. To restore the saved layout, open the View menu, uncheck the Toggle Auto Layout box, and select Layout Topology.
