| Nortel Networks Optivity Switch Manager for LAN Switch Networks Release 1.0.0.0 |
|
The Optivity Switch Manager window allows you to use different tools to view parts or the whole network topology, find network devices, or launch Optivity Switch Manager submanagers.
The Optivity Switch Manager window displays a graphical view of a network showing physical connectivity between devices and provides you with tools to access other Optivity Switch Manager features. After the initial discovery, other Optivity Switch Manager submanger applications allow you to monitor or configure discovered devices.
Note:
The Optivity Switch Manager window remains open and can display highlighted devices after the Optivity Switch Manager submanager windows open. You cannot close the Optivity Switch Manager window while Optivity Switch Manager submanager windows are open.
The following table describes the parts of the Optivity Switch Manager window.

When you successfully query a device on the network, the Optivity Switch Manager contents pane presents a graphical view of a network displaying a variety of information about the network connections. What information is available on the network topology map depends on the size of the network discovered. For example, in a very large network topology, the devices' IP addresses and port numbers are not displayed unless you magnify the network topology map using the scale slider.
