• Link Utilization Overlay Columns
- Connection speed—Shows the speed of the connection to the parent
switch (10M, 100M, 1G).
- Tx Utilization—The Tx utilization of the device (Rx of the connected
port) as a percentage of the current speed.
- Rx Utilization—The Rx utilization of the device (Tx of the connected
port) as a percentage of the current speed.
• PoE Overlay column
- Power Consumption—Shows the power consumed by the device in
MW. If the connected port does not support PoE, shows N/A.
• VLAN Overlay column—Connected VLAN. Shows the VLANs of which the
connected port is a member. This field may contain a long list of VLANs. If
the complete list does not fit in the table, it can be viewed in the right-hand
information panel when selecting the client.
The client explorer is not supported for client groups that are connected to the network through
a cloud.
Overlays are layers of information that can be activated on the topology view to add more
information or affect the way the topology is displayed. This can be accomplished, for
example, by coloring topology elements in different colors depending on various criteria or by
changing the icons that are displayed on topology elements to show detailed data relevant to
the selected overlay.
Select the overlay you want to use from a list of available overlays.
Some overlays may have parameters associated with them, such as the VLAN overlay. When
you select the VLAN overlay, for example, you must also select a specific VLAN.
