cloud should appear in a particular submap or the top-level map is based
upon the devices that are connected to it:
■
A cloud will appear in a submap if it is connected to one or more
devices that are present in that submap.
■
A cloud will appear in the top-level map if it is only connected to a
single device, and that device is a router or layer-3 switch.
■
A cloud will appear in the top-level map if it is connected to two or
more routers or layer-3 switches.
This means that adding a link to a cloud can cause the cloud to be added
to other submaps and may cause it to be removed from the top-level
map. Similarly, deleting a link to a cloud can remove the cloud from one
or more submaps and may cause it to be added to or removed from the
top-level map. For more information about adding and deleting links in
the map see
“Linking Items in the Map” on page 204 .
Pull-Right Menu for Clouds
Right-clicking on a cloud in the map produces a pop-up menu. The
following table describes each of the menu items in the pop-up.

Subnets
Subnet icons represent submaps that contain devices in the same IP
subnet or subnets. A device is considered to be part of an IP subnet if it
has at least one IP address which is contained in the subnet. This includes
routers and layer-3 devices.
Subnets are only shown in the map when you choose to view the devices
in your network grouped by subnet, but are always shown in the tree.
As well as appearing in the top-level map, a router or layer-3 device can
appear in multiple subnets. However, a router or layer-3 device only
appears at the top-level of the tree.
In the top-level map the links between subnets and routers or layer-3
switches are shown as layer-3 connections, while in submaps the links
