Assigning icons to devices

You can change the icons for devices and other entities used in topology maps displayed within the Network Views and Network Hop View GUIs..

Assigning icons to device classes
To represent different device classes with different icons, assign each device class its own icon. This helps operators distinguish between device classes in topology maps, for example between Cisco and Alcatel devices.
Assigning icons to entity types
Some network entities that display in the GUI are not devices and therefore do not have an associated class name. In order to be able to display an icon for these entities in the GUI, you can associate an icon to the related entity type to an icon.
Assigning icons to class types
Change the icons that are used to represent class types to make it easier for network operators to identify the class types in topology maps. Class types group together more than one class. For example, you might want a single icon that represents the class type CiscoSwitch, where the CiscoSwitch class type groups together multiple Cisco switch class icons.
