Cisco Optical Site Manager Topology

This chapter describes the different Cisco Optical Site Manager views. In this chapter, you will also learn to add new racks.

Topology

The Topology page provides a visual and tabular representation that allows users to manage optical site configurations effectively. The page offers two distinct views for managing site configurations:

  • Rack View

  • Table View

Rack View

Provides a graphical representation of a rack, including nodes and cards. Users can hover over a device or node to display its name in a tooltip, aiding in quick identification.

Table View

Displays a detailed list of chassis with information such as node UIDs, rack numbers, chassis types, and descriptions. This view also allows users to add new racks, simplifying updates and management.

Create a rack

A rack serves as a container for other devices that are managed by Cisco Optical Site Manager.
