Tools to visualize the network.
Hierarchy View – Parent/Child Router Organization #
This feature allows users to organize their routers in a parent-child relationship.
Users have a Root folder view, where they can add their parent routers.
You can add routers from the right-hand menu “Unsorted Routers” which has a full omni-search bar.
The person icon displays the sum of all parent and children routers under this particular router.
Within each router, a user can add unlimited children. Those children can also have routers under them (grandchildren, if you will). In fact, routers can even have endless-great-grandchildren!
Topology Mapper #
Topology Network Mapper Tool is used to visualize a network #
To use: Routers structure will follow the network set in Hierarchy.
The Auto-Build in Hierarchy feature will generate topology.
OSPF Network Mapper #
OSPF Network Mapper Tool is used to visualize network traffic flow across an OSPF network #
To use: Router must be OSPF and Admiral enabled.
When two routers have mismatching ospf route cost, network type, or state their connection will be displayed as a dotted red line.
Routers with more than 4,000 routes are not currently supported in OSPF map.
