3 The New Link window is divided into two sections, Side A and Side B, representing a device on
either end of the link. For each side of the link, do the following:
a From the Name list, select the device for this side of the link. The Name list contains the name
and IP address of each object in the device group.
b Optionally, from the Port number list, select a port on the device for the endpoint of the link. If
you enable the Show VLANs box, the VLANs that the selected port is a member of are displayed.
c As an alternative to selecting a port, you can specify a text annotation to describe this side of the
link on the map. To do this, click the Annotation button, and enter the text in the box.
4 When you have finished specifying both ends of the link, click OK to create the link on the map.

Removing Inactive Links from the Map

On a topology map, the color of the link line indicates the link status. A red line indicates that the link
is inactive (at least one of the ports that make up the link is down). You can remove the inactive links
from the map.
To remove the inactive links between two devices:
1 Select the two devices in the map view.
2 From the Map menu, select Clear inactive links from > Selected two devices.
Removing inactive links clears links that exist between the selected two devices in the currently
displayed map, as well as in any other device maps with inactive links between the two devices.
To remove the inactive links in the top-level group and subgroups of a device group:
1 Display the map view of the device group.
