Using the Topology Map

</h1>
<a name="wp1279972"> </a><p class="pBody">
The DCNM-SAN topology map can be customized to provide a view into the fabric that varies from 
showing all switches, end devices, and links, to showing only the core switches with single bold lines 
for any multiple links between switches. Use the icons along the left side of the topology map to control 
these views or right-click anywhere in the topology map to access the map controls.

</p>
<a name="wp1279973"> </a><p class="pBody">
You can zoom in or out on the topology map to see an overview of the SAN or focus on an area of 
importance. You can also open an overview window that shows the entire fabric. From this window, you 
can right-click and draw a box around the area you want to view in the main topology map view.

</p>
<a name="wp1279974"> </a><p class="pBody">
Another way to limit the scope of the topology display is to select a fabric or VSAN from the Logical 
Domains pane. The topology map displays only that fabric or VSAN.

</p>
<a name="wp1279975"> </a><p class="pBody">
Moving the mouse pointer over a link or switch provides a simple summary of that SAN component, 
along with a status indication. Right-clicking on the component brings up a pop-up menu. You can view 
the component in detail or access configuration or test features for that component.

</p>
<a name="wp1279976"> </a><p class="pBody">
Double-click a link to bring link status and configuration information to the information pane. 
Double-click a switch to bring up Device Manager for that switch.
