Layout slider

Use the layout slider to improve the quality of the topology map. It adjusts the layout of the devices in the network topology using the Spring algorithm, which balances the distances between devices and minimizes the number of crossing lines.

To use the layout slider:

1. Choose Edit > Preferences.
2. In the map section, slide the ruler between faster and better to adjust layout display.

Optivity Switch Manager retains the locations of nodes until you rediscover the network.

3. Click Apply.
4. To resdiscover the network topology map with new layout, do one of the following:
• From the Optivity Switch Manager menu bar, choose Discover Map.
• On the Optivity Switch Manager toolbar, click Discover Map.
