How to view a Network Map

This guide shows you how to open and read the Network Map for an SNMP switch.

Note: Details may vary by deployment.

Prerequisites

• Your site has at least one switch discovered as an SNMP device.
• The switch has been audited at least once via SNMP (so port and neighbour data is present).
• You have permission to view the SNMP devices Inventory.

Steps

1. Navigate to Inventory > SNMP devices.

2. In the SNMP devices grid, filter by subtype Switches and click the switch whose topology you want to view.

3. In the switch detail view, open the Network interfaces tab.

4. Click Show as map.

5. Read the map:
   • Nodes represent the switch and its directly connected neighbours.
   • Connections are visually coded by connection type and link state.
   • Hover or click a node to inspect the underlying device record.

Verify

• The map renders with the switch as the focal node.
• Connected neighbours match what you see on the switch's Network interfaces tab.
• Visual coding for active versus inactive links is consistent with the latest SNMP audit data.
