Network map and tree icons and symbols

Devices and device connectivity are represented in the network map and tree using the icons described here.

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.

Table 1: Describes general icons.
Table 2: Describes LTE icons.

	Element management system (EMS) icon	Represents an EMS.
	End node icon	Represents end-node devices, including Windows, Linux®, and Solaris workstations and printers.
	Generic logical collection icon	Represents a generic logical collection, for example, a user-defined collection.
	Geographical location icon	Represents a geographical location.
	Geographical region icon	Represents a geographical region.
	Manually added device or connection between devices	Used to indicate that the associated device or connection was added manually using the Topology Management right-click options.
	Probe icon	Used to represent a network probe.
	Radio area network (RAN) router icon	Represents a device that is designated as a radio area network router.
	Radio area network (RAN) switch icon	Represents a device that is designated as a radio area network switch.
	Router icon	Represents a device that is designated as a router.
	Subnet icon	Represents a subnet
	Switch icon	Represents a device that is designated as a switch.
[4]	Number of connections indicator	This indicates either of the following: In the case of a connection relationship between two devices, which is indicated by a solid line, this number indicates the number of interfaces participating in the connection between the devices. In the case of a membership relationship, which is indicated by a pale dashed line, this number indicates the number of interfaces participating in membership, for example, of a subnet or OSPF area. The number of connections displayed is specific to the connectivity layer being displayed.
	Completely unmanaged device	The entire device, including all its interfaces, is unmanaged.
	Partially unmanaged device	Only certain components of this device are unmanaged.

Table 2. Icons used in network maps: LTE
Icon	Name	Description
	Antenna icon	Represents an antenna.
	Equipment Identity Register (EIR) icon	Represents an Equipment Identity Register (EIR).
	Combined transmitter	Combined transmitter
	Transmitter	Transmitter
	eNodeB	eNodeB device
	gNodeB	gNodeB device
	Evolved NodeB (eNodeB) icon	Represents an Evolved NodeB (eNodeB) device.
	eUtranCell icon	Represents a eUtranCell.
	Home Subscriber Server (HSS) icon	Represents a Home Subscriber Server (HSS).
	LTE pool icon	Represents an LTE pool.
	LTE sector icon	Represents an LTE sector.
	LTE tracking area icon	Represents an LTE tracking area.
	Mobility Management Entity (MME) icon	Represents a Mobility Management Entity (MME) device.
	Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF) icon	Represents a Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF).
	Packet Data Network Gateway (PGW) icon	Represents a Packet Data Network Gateway (PGW) device.
	Serving Gateway (SGW) icon	Represents a Serving Gateway (SGW) device.

OSPF and BGP network maps use the same devices icons as the standard network maps. Labels under the device icons indicate the function performed by the device within the BGP network or the OSPF routing domain. The following table provides examples of device icon labels and explains what the labels represent.

Table 3. Labels used in OSPF and BGP network maps
Network view	Example of label	Description
BGP autonomous system	BGP Service172.20.1.4(RR)	Represents a route reflector device within a cluster. The label RR under the device indicates that this is a route reflector client.
BGP autonomous system	BGP Service172.20.1.7(RR Client)	Represents a route reflector client device within a cluster. The label RR Client under the device indicates that this is a route reflector client.
BGP network	BGP AS65530 (OPENTRANSIT)	Represents a BGP autonomous system. Pale dashed lines indicate devices that are members of this BGP AS.
OSPF routing domain	OSPF 172.20.65.31 (ABR)	Represents an area border router. The label ABR under the device indicates that this is an area border router.
OSPF routing domain	OSPF 172.20.1.6 (ASBR)	Represents an AS border router. The label ASBR under the device indicates that this is an AS border router.
OSPF routing domain	OSPF 172.20.81.12 (DR)	Represents a designated router. The label DR under the device indicates that this is a designated router.
OSPF routing domain	OSPF 172.20.1.4 (BDR)	Represents a backup designated router. The label BDR under the device indicates that this is a backup designated router.
OSPF routing domain	172.20.2.8 (Broadcast)R	Represents a type-2 Network Link State Advertisement (LSA) that is generated by designated routers on a broadcast or no-broadcast multi-access network segment.
