NOTE
If RMON statistics are not enabled in the switch, then no statistics will be displayed, even if you enable the display
of RMON statistics for the map.
Manipulating Map Elements
Map elements (nodes and links) can be resized, cut to a clipboard, pasted, deleted and added. There are
a number of ways to invoke these actions:
●
Select a command from one of the menus in the Topology View menubar.
●
Select a command from a pop-menu enabled with a right-cursor click on the map background.
●
Select a command icon from the Topology View toolbar.
●
Use one of the Topology applet keyboard short cuts, or (under Windows XP or Windows 2003
Server) through the regular Windows mouse and cursor actions and keyboard shortcuts.
For example, you can resize an individual node by selecting the node and doing one of the following:
●
Use the cursor to grab one of the resize handles that appear when the node is selected, and drag the
handle to resize the node.
●
Select the Inflate Nodes or Deflate Nodes command from the Map Menu.
●
Use the keyboard shortcuts ([Ctrl]+I or [Ctrl]+D) for those commands (see “Inflate Nodes” on
page 309 and “Deflate Nodes” on page 309 ).
Displaying a Topology View with a Preselected Device
In EPICenter, when you select a device in one feature, that device remains preselected when you move
to a different applet. Thus, if you had a device selected in a previous applet when you enter the
Topology applet, that device will be automatically highlighted on the map.
If the device exists on more than one map, EPICenter displays a pop-up window that presents the
various Views and Maps on which the node appears, as shown in
Figure 134 .
