About the network topology
The Network Security console displays the topology tree on the Devices tab. The
topology tree represents the elements of your network, and provides Symantec
Network Security with the necessary information about the topology of the
network or portion of the distributed network that it monitors. Network
Security also requires information about connections to autonomous systems or
other segments within a distributed network.
Note:
Both StandardUsers and RestrictedUsers can view the topology tree
displayed on the Devices tab, but cannot modify it.
The Network Security console displays the network topology as a hierarchical
tree structure. At a glance, you can see a representation of each network
location, network segment, and router in your network, as well as the 7100
Series appliance nodes and/or Network Security software nodes and interfaces
that monitor your network. The installation process generates some objects
automatically. Security administrators can add the others, providing Symantec
Network Security with the information it needs to monitor your network.
