The Network Map allows you to visualize the structure of your network. The following table displays the icons that appear in the Network Map. When you open the Network Map from a selected NE in the Domain Explorer or Subnetwork Explorer, the selected NE is preselected on the map. The icon has white text displayed on a black background. This allows you to distinguish the previously selected NE from the other NEs in the same map.
You can customize the Network Map with numeric NE icons. Each NE model has a numeric icon. Numeric icons behave the same as the standard graphical icons in terms of color, operational state, and so on. The right-most column in the following table describes the numeric icons.
