Visualize My Network

The Visualize My Network portlet displays discovered devices, mapping them in relationship to

each other. It also lets you store and retrieve views you have arranged, as well as configure the

default view (see VIEW DETAILS on page 217 for more about these capabilities).

How To:

Create a Visualization

Creating a topology map of devices or services is as simple as right-clicking the item(s) you want to

map, and selecting

Visualize.

You can also save different topologies after you configure them. See VIEW DETAILS on page 217

for more about that.

You can fine-tune the appearance of what you see with the tools described in Configuring Views

and what follows.

Tip

If you do not see what you expect, make sure you have refreshed your browser so cached images do not

interfere with current ones.
