Map Topology

When you access a physical node from GigaVUE‑FM, and then select Maps, you can toggle the page between a list view and a topology view. Clicking the topology button changes the page to the topology view for the maps on the node. Figure 1 shows an example with network, hybrid, tools ports, and maps. A legend in the top-right corner of the page describes the icons shown in the diagram. The number of items in the legend depends on the icons used in the current graph. Use the controls in the lower right-hand corner of the page to position the map and zoom in or zoom out.

Map Topology View

Hovering over a node in the topology highlights the connections between ports and maps. For example, in Figure 2, hovering over the hybrid port highlights the path from the network port through the maps to the hybrid port and the destination ports.

Clicking on the item in the diagram displays only the connections for that item as shown in Figure 3.

Map Selected

When an item in the diagram is selected, a link is displayed at the top of the page. Clicking on the link displays a quick view for that item. For example, if the item is a map, a Map quick view displays and if the item is a port, a Port quick view displays. Figure 4 shows an example, where port 8/1/x13 is selected and the quick view for the port is displayed.
