Manual Layout of
WAN Topology
If you have further details of the WAN topology in your network, such as
which interfaces on which routers correspond to each other for
point-to-point connections, then you may wish to correct the default
manner in which the WAN topology is displayed in your map to reflect
these details.
There are two basic changes that you may wish to make to the displayed
WAN topology:
■
Connecting the ends of point-to-point interfaces to each other
directly.
■
Grouping logically connected interfaces together.
Both of these changes must be made manually in the map, by deleting
and adding links and by adding clouds, and are discussed in detail below.
After you have completed your changes to the displayed WAN topology:
■
You may find that the Default WAN cloud is no longer linked to any
other map items. If this is the case then you may delete the cloud
from the map without affecting the displayed WAN topology by
selecting it in the map and then selecting
Edit > Delete .
■
If you have not made any manual changes to the layout of your map
then you may wish to relayout the map, as the altered WAN topology
may improve the automatic layout. To relayout your map
automatically select
View > Relayout .
Connecting Point-to-Point WAN Interfaces Together
If you have discovered both routers at either end of the point-to-point
connection then you can link them directly to each other in the following
manner:
1 Remove both routers’ links to the Default WAN cloud by:
a Locate the two routers in the map.
b Select their links to the Default WAN cloud. Ensure that nothing else
is selected in the map.
c Select Edit > Delete , and confirm the deletion.
Note that either of these two links may represent more than one WAN
interface. If that is the case then deleting the link will remove the map
representation of all of those WAN interfaces. See
“Restoring WAN
