About Topology
The Topology window displays a graphical view of your network. Using the Discovery settings that you have configured, Cisco DNA Center discovers the devices in your network and assigns a device role to them. Based on the device role assigned during discovery (or changed in Device Inventory), Cisco DNA Center creates a physical topology map with detailed device-level data.
Using the topology map, you can do the following:
-
Display the topology of a selected area, site, building, or floor.
-
Display detailed device information.
-
Display detailed link information.
-
Filter devices based on a specific Layer 2 VLAN.
-
Filter devices based on a Layer 3 protocol (such as Intermediate System - Intermediate System [IS-IS], Open Shortest Path First [OSPF], Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol [EIGRP], or static routing).
-
Filter devices with Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) capability.
-
Pin devices to the topology map.
-
Save a topology map layout.
-
Open a topology map layout.
-
Export screen shots of the complete topology layout in PNG format.
