Arranging devices on the topology map

As Optivity Switch Manager discovers devices, they are arranged by default in a column (top to bottom/left to right) on the topology map. The devices icons are crowded together, and the port numbers and IP addresses overlap each other. To improve readability of the map, you can automatically or manually adjust the layout.

To automatically arrange the topology map:

Do one of the following:

• 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 also 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 selected devices to desired locations on the topology map.
