Loading a saved network topology map

You can reload a saved topology map. If you do not have a specific topology map saved, the application loads the previously discovered topology map. This map is stored in the default.topo file.

To open a new topology map, you must use the discovery process described in Discovering devices on a network.

To reload a saved topology map:

1. Do one of the following:
• From the Optivity Switch Manager menu bar, choose File > Open.
• On the keyboard, press [Ctrl]+O.
• On the Optivity Switch Manager toolbar, click Open.

The Open File dialog box opens.

2. Select the filename (with a .topo extension) that contains your saved network topology.
3. Click Open.

The topology map is displayed in the contents pane.

4. From the Optivity Switch Manager menu bar, choose Actions > Update Topology to update your network topology map.
