In the topology view, you can choose to view an object using one of several layout types. For example, you can simply view the objects as a list, or you can view the objects as a ring network.
To change the topology layout, choose Topology Layouts from the View menu in the main console window.
A selection list appears.
Click the layout that you want to use.
You can choose one of the following layout types:
Network (default) – Shows the objects arranged in one of the following ways:
Across the window in the order in which the objects were discovered or added to the database
As arranged by the console user
Grid – Shows the objects arranged in an organized grid in the order in which the objects were discovered or were added to the database
List – Shows the objects in a vertical list in the order in which the objects were discovered or were added to the database
Bus – Shows the objects linked together by a series of lines that mirror the view of a network bus
Star – Shows the objects in a star to indicate the parent object is a star network
Spoked Ring – Shows the objects in a ring to indicate the parent object is a ring network
The topology layout changes within a few seconds of when you select a type.
