Customizing The Look Of Your Maps; Using Basic Epicenter Reports - Extreme Networks EPICenter Guide Manual

Getting Started with EPICenter
You can create new Topology Views to represent your networks in any way you want. You can have
EPICenter auto-populate a view you create or you can select devices to add to your map individually.
You can create and delete submaps, add, move and delete devices, create links, add annotations, give
names and labels to your devices and so on.

Customizing the Look of Your Maps

In addition to determining the network elements that appear on your Topology maps, you can also
customize the look of your maps. You can change the color of the map background or add a
background image, control whether device names and icons are displayed or not, control the size and
color of the text used for node annotations, and so on. Figure 26 shows a topology map with a campus
map as a background image, and with device icons not displayed. EPICenter provides a few standard
images, such as maps of the United States and Europe, and you can add images of your own as well.

Using Basic EPICenter Reports

EPICenter provides a large number of reports based on the data in the EPICenter database. The
Network Status Summary Report that appears when you first log into the EPICenter client is one
example of these reports.
