11.2.5.2 Link Statuses

Link statuses are shown by adding colored outlines to displayed links (as described in "11.2.5.1 Link Display").

The following table shows display examples of abnormal link statuses.

Table 11.23 Statuses of Physical or Virtual Links
Link	Meaning
	Represents a link with an error status (e.g. the opposite NIC or L2 switch port is disabled, or the cable between this link and its opposite port or NIC is disconnected).
	Represents a link with a warning status. For example, an aggregated link (as described in "11.2.5.3 Aggregate Display of Network Links") will show a warning status if only a subset of its links have an error status.

11.2.5.3 Aggregate Display of Network Links

When two resources are linked by two or more links, those links are represented as one aggregated link (please note that this appellation is not related with the Link Aggregation Protocol, but only refers to the display representation of multiple links as one entity).

Aggregated links are shown as thick lines in the Network Map. The following diagram shows an example of aggregate display.

Example

Note

Selecting a displayed resource will focus display on that resource. In such a focus mode, all links that are not directly related to the selected resource will be shown in lighter colors.
