About the network topology
About the Devices tab
The Network Security console displays the network topology as a hierarchical
tree structure. At a glance, you can see a representation of each network
location, network segment, and router in your network, as well as the 7100
Series appliance nodes and/or software nodes and interfaces that monitor your
network. The installation process generates some objects automatically.
Security administrators can add the others, providing Symantec Network
Security with the information it needs to monitor your network.
The following figure shows an example:
The Devices tab provides a tree-oriented view of the network topology with a
detailed summary of each device. When you select an object from the topology
tree in the left pane, the right pane displays related information. Symantec
Network Security updates this information at frequent intervals, so the status
remains current.
