Standard network views
Create a standard network view to group any set of devices, sub-nets, VLANs or other device collections for monitoring. Standard network views are also referred to as network views.
For example, if you need to monitor the status of two specific sub-nets, you can group them in a standard network view. Once created, this network view appears in the Navigation Panel, with a name and in a position in the navigation tree that you specify.
For
example you can create a new My Views container node
in the navigation tree, name your new network view My Subnets and
place this new view in the My Views container.
As the network changes and the topology is updated following discoveries, the content of the network view changes accordingly. For example, if new devices are added to the subnet, then these devices are automatically added to the network view after they have been discovered.
Usage considerations
Standard network view are useful for operators who monitor a part of the large network and need to focus on the devices, subnets or other device collections within their part of the network.
- You want to create views of particular device collections only, rather than all device collections of a specific type.
- You want to create a view that contains more than one device collection, rather than one view for each device collection.
