Map Element Description Panel - Extreme Networks EPICenter Software Installation Manual

NOTE
If RMON statistics are not enabled in the switch, then no statistics will be displayed, even if you enable
the display of RMON statistics for the map.
Manipulating Map Elements
Map elements (nodes and links) can be resized, cut to a clipboard, pasted, deleted and added. There are
a number of ways to invoke these actions:
• Select a command from one of the menus in the Topology View menubar
• Select a command from a pop-menu enabled with a right-cursor click on the map background
• Select a command icon from the Topology View toolbar
• Use one of the Topology applet keyboard short cuts, or (under Windows 2000 or Windows XP)
through the regular Windows mouse and cursor actions and keyboard shortcuts
For example, you can resize an individual node by selecting the node and doing one of the following:
• Use the cursor to grab one of the resize handles that appear when the node is selected, and drag the
handle to resize the node
• Select the Inflate Nodes or Deflate Nodes command from the Map Menu
• Use the keyboard shortcuts ([Alt]+I or [Alt]+D) for those commands (see the sections "Inflating the
Map Nodes" and "Deflating the Map Nodes" on page 309).

Map Element Description Panel

When you select a map node or link with the cursor, the panel below the Map Hierarchy Tree displays
information about the node or link.
