Network Topology

Network Topology

If you have added network switch(es) to a site and connected devices to the network switch(es), you can view these devices' network topology. Network topology displays network links between devices and shows the link exceptions and abnormal devices, helping you to locate exception source and troubleshoot faults in a visualized way.

Note:

Make sure you have configuration permission for the network switch, otherwise network topology is unavailable. For details about applying for the permission, see Apply for Device Permission.

Tap a site on the site list to enter the device list page, and then click next to a network switch to enter the network topology page. You can perform the following operations on the network topology.

Operation

Description

View Legend

You can tap More to view all the legends.

Edit Root Node

When multiple network switches are added to a site, the platform will randomly select one of them as the root node by default for the network topology. If the randomly-selected network switch is not the real root node, you can tap to select a network switch as the root node.

View Network Switch Details

You can tap a network switch on the topology to view its details, including basic information, device status, and port status.

You can also perform operations such as rebooting the network switch and restarting port. For details, see Network Switch Operations.

Note:

You cannot view details of a virtual network switch.

View Details of Other Device

Tap a device to view its details, such as device model and network status.

Note:

  • Make sure you have the configuration permission for the device, otherwise you need to apply for the permission first.

  • You cannot view details of a virtual network switch.

  • If the device is not added to the same site with the network switch, you cannot view its details.

Expand Devices in a Node

Devices of the same type are folded in a node of the network topology. You can tap on the node to expand all the devices and view whether their running status is normal.

The color of the device icon indicates the running status of a device:

  • Gray: Normal

  • Red: Abnormal

  • Yellow: Device Busy

Move/Zoom In/Zoom Out

You can drag the network topology to move it; Pinch fingers together to zoom out, and spread them apart to zoom in.
