Introduction
Introduction
The tree displays a hierarchical view of the managed network. The tree is divided into containers and nodes.
The actual tree appearance depends on options selected in the Preferences dialog.
Figure 47
is an example with
the colorized icons turned on (see section
“Colorized Icon (Using Type Specific Icon)”
on page 37), and col-
orized text background turned off (see
“Colorized Text Background”
on page 37).

Containers
In the ForeSight 6100 EMS, containers are used to group and organize nodes. Moreover, the color of the icon or
text background for the container indicates the state of the node with the most severe error condition.
For example,
figure 48
shows a campus network comprising a Patton Model 3095 DACS, a ForeFront AIS
(fully loaded with 3096RC blades), and two 1001R rack systems connected to a PC running the 6100 EMS.
