Nortel Networks Optivity Switch Manager for LAN Switch Networks Release 1.0.0.0

Arranging devices on the topology map

As Optivity Switch Manager discovers devices, they are briefly arranged by default in a column (top to bottom/left to right) on the topology map. This topology map is difficult to read. You can automatically or manually adjust the layout.

To view the network topology in a useful format, you must arrange the devices either automatically or manually.

To automatically arrange the topology map:

• From the Optivity Switch Manager menu bar, choose Actions > Layout Map.
• On the Optivity Switch Manager toolbar, click Layout Map.

The nodes are automatically arranged on the map. You may need to manually adjust nodes on the map until you have the desired layout.

To manually arrange the devices discovered in the network topology:

Drag the node to a desired location on the topology map.
