About the NSM Topology Map Views
The NSM Topology Manager provides both graphical and tabular views of your network
topology. The map view is a graphic representation of all devices discovered in a network
along with their linked elements.
In map view, each network element is represented by an icon indicating whether the
element is a Juniper Networks product and whether it is managed by NSM. Each device
type is represented by a unique icon on the map. Managed and unmanaged devices
appear as different colored icons. The graphic view depicts physical connectivity between
networking devices but does not show connectivity with endpoint devices. NSM offers
two topology map views– SubNets and Groups.
