Creating Network Maps
Network maps are like road maps, they visually depict the entire network hierarchy. Network
administrators use them to trace out the connections between various network devices, and to quickly
activate dedicated management tools for a selected de vice. These maps describe the status of network
devices, their physical location, and their logical organization. This section describes how to create,
maintain and use network maps.
The main EliteView program is used as the primary interface to most of the EliteView modules. However, this is
also where you create and edit network maps. The following menus are used for map functions.
You can organize
network maps using
any number of
hierarchal levels.
