Node Alarm status: shown using the small alarm bell indicating the highest level unacknowledged

alarm for this device.
EAPS Worst Domain status: If the device is configured for EAPS, this is indicated by a colored ring
●
around the reachability icon. This circle represents an aggregate of the status of all domains of which the
node is a member, and shows the worst status among all those domains. A green ring indicates all
domains in which this device participates are fully operational. A yellow ring indicates that one or
more of the domains is not fully operational; a red ring indicates that at least one of the domains is
in a failed or link down state.
EAPS Node status: If the device is configured for EAPS, this indicates whether the device is a
●
Master or Transit node for the domains in which it participates. The node is shown as a Master (M)
if it is a master node in any of the domains to which it belongs. A node is shown as a Transit node
(T) only if it is a transit node in all domains. The color of the M or T indicates its status.

Links are also depicted in color, depending on their status. Composite links (multiple links running
between the same two devices) are indicated by a small square in the center of the link.
Viewing Domain and Link Status
By moving the cursor over a device node or a link on the map, you can view some basic information
about the device or link.
Rolling the cursor over a device node pops up a small menu from where you can display the Device
●
Details window, run an EAPS Log report for the device. It also shows links that will display the
Domain Details window for each domain of which the device is a member. You can click the focus
Mode button (
Rolling the cursor over a link displays the end-point ports for the link (will show multiple end-point
●
pairs if it is a composite link). Clicking one of the end-point links displays the Properties window for
the port.

Focus Mode

Focus mode enables you to highlight and zoom in on a domain, to make the devices and links in that
domain easier to identify. It also shows the status of the devices in the selected EAPS domain relative
only to the domain in focus.
There are two ways to enter Focus mode:
1 Click the domain name in Domains table under the Domains tab. (This also pops open the Domain
Details display.)
2 Move the cursor over a node in the domain to display the pop-up list of domain links, then right-
click on the link to the domain, or click the Focus mode button (
The Viewport will zoom in on the selected domain, highlighting the nodes and links in the selected
domain, while all nodes and links not in the selected domain are shown in grey.
In Focus mode, the status of the nodes in the domain reflect their status only within the selected
domain. For example, if a node is a member of two domains, and is a Master in one domain and a
Transit node in the other, its aggregate status is shown as Master on the EAPS map. However, if you
enter Focus mode for the domain in which that node is a Transit node, the status is shown as Transit for
as long as you maintain focus on that domain.
