Dynamic network views
Dynamic network views are based on the devices or collections that you specify and based on all the network topology data. Dynamic network views are also referred to as dynamic views
If you create a dynamic view of VLANs, multiple VLAN network views are created, one for each VLAN. The result is therefore a node in the Navigation Panel for each VLAN in the network.
As the network changes and the topology is updated following discoveries, the VLAN nodes in the Navigation Panel might appear or disappear. For example, if any VLANs are removed from the network, then after another discovery, the corresponding VLAN network views automatically disappear.
Usage considerations
The dynamic view option is useful for keeping track of all the devices and device collections in your network. This option is therefore of greater use to an administrator who needs to keep track of device changes across the entire network. This option is also useful for operators of smaller networks who monitor an entire 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.
