Layout slider

Use the layout slider to improve the readability 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.

The Preferences dialog box opens.

2. In the Map area, slide the ruler between faster and better to adjust the layout display.

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

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