The Network Map displays the following information for resources managed in Resource Coordinator VE.
Network configuration of physical and virtual servers (including virtual switches and VM guests)
Statuses of network links between all resources
VLAN configuration affecting each physical and virtual server
Two different maps (listed below) are available within the Network Map. Switch between those maps as necessary.
Overall map
Displays chassis, servers and their connections (network links) with adjacent LAN switches.
Local map
Shows a more detailed map focused on the selected resource (chassis or server). This map displays resources contained in the selected resource (e.g. server blades, switch blades, VM hosts, VM guests, virtual switches), and their connections (links) with adjacent LAN switches or chassis. Up to two chassis can be displayed at a time.
In the Network Map, resource icons are used to represent the status of each resource. Moreover, different colors are used to represent different link statuses.

For details on link statuses, refer to "12.5 Network Links".
Note
While the Network Map can display the connections between virtual servers and virtual switches in a virtualization host, it can not show the bridge connections made to directly link virtual servers with external networks.
