See “Organizing Devices and Ports Into Groups” onpage 75 for information about creating device groups.A device group hierarchy has one top-level group and can have multiple levels ofsubgroups below it. When a map is created, Ridgeline creates separate maps for thetop-level group, as well as for any subgroups.The graphical representation of the devices and links in the currently selected devicegroup or subgroup. Selecting a device in the Map View causes the corresponding rowin the Navigation Table to be selected.Table of information about the objects displayed in the Map View.

Devices and submaps within this map that have alarmpropagation disabled do not contribute to this status.If the alarm icon has an “X” through it, this means alarm propagation has beendisabled for this map, and will not contribute to the alarm status of the next higher-levelmap.Within the map view, an icon that represents a managed device in the device group.Within the map view, an icon that represents a subgroup of the currently displayedgroup.Colored lines that represent connectivity between nodes in the map.A box in the lower corner of the Map View that provides a thumbnail view of thetopology map. Use the smaller box within the Navigation Box to move around a largemap. Click the arrow icon to display or hide the Navigation Box in the Map View.Specifies the magnification level for the map. You can move the slider to zoom to oneof six magnification levels.Detailed information about the selected object.You can click on the tabs to display information about the ports, operational status,links, VLANs, and EAPS rings for the selected device.Map ElementsThe following elements can appear on a map:Device Nodes. Device nodes represent the managed devices found in the device group.A device node shows the following information:●●●●The name of the device as it is kept in the Inventory database.An optional, user-supplied annotation for the node.A small icon representing the specific device or device product line. If the device is of an “unknown”type, an unknown device icon (a circle with a question mark) is displayed.The device’s IP address.Ridgeline Reference Guide89
