Populating the topology database 79 Managing the topology tree Viewing auto-generated objects The installation process automatically creates a number of objects in the topology tree. These objects can be renamed and configured, and in some cases, you can add more of them to the topology tree. For example, the installation process creates an object for one location in the topology tree, called Enterprise by default. You can add more location objects to represent other locations. Symantec Network Security also automatically creates objects for managed network segments in the topology tree. See the following for related information: See "About location objects" on page 83. See "About managed network segments" on page 108. Viewing node details When you click an object in the topology tree, the Network Security console displays the description, if applicable, and other pertinent details about the software or appliance node, such as its IP address or subnet mask. To view node details ◆ Click the corresponding device object. The Network Security console displays the details and optional description in the right pane. Viewing node status The Network Security console displays an object in the topology tree representing devices and interfaces in the network. When a software or appliance node experiences a process failure of any kind, the Network Security console displays the node with a red X, called the Node Status Indicator. This signifies that Network Security processes or connectivity to the network has failed. To view node status ◆ See the Node Status Indicator for the software or appliance node. A red X or Node Status Indicator signifies that Network Security processes or network connectivity failed on a software or appliance node.
