Network map icons and symbols

The Network Hop View and the Network Views show icons representing discovered devices and subnets and the event status associated with a device.

Devices and subnets

The following tables describe the device and device connectivity icons used in the network map and network tree. Within the network map solid line indicates a connection between devices and pale dashed line indicates membership; for example, membership of a subnet or of a BGP autonomous system.
