Using highlighting from the utility panel (custom view) in the NetworkViewer enables highlighting of only the resources that meet the specified conditions.
Point
In a complicated network configuration, since the related routes can be visibly checked by highlighting, the time taken for check operations can be shortened.
The procedure to highlight resources is given below.
Clicking [+] in the upper right of the highlight box displays the configuration window.
Figure 11.21 Window for Setting Highlighting
Check the items to configure as the conditions for highlighting.
Click the [OK] button.
The input field for the item to highlight checked in step 2 in the highlight box is displayed.
Clicking the input field displays a pull-down list.
Select a condition from the pull-down list to highlight only the resources that meet that condition.
Physical resources that are not allocated to the L-Platform or L-Server are not displayed in the pull-down list for Related Resources.
The following conditions can be specified for highlighting certain resources:
VLAN ID
Only highlights the resources that match the specified VLAN ID.
For Ethernet Fabric devices (Converged Fabric)
Conditions for both "VLAN/C-TAG" and "VLAN(S-TAG)" can be configured in the VLAN ID input field.
When both conditions are configured, resources meeting both conditions are the targets of display.
For devices other than Ethernet Fabric devices (Converged Fabric)
Only the condition "VLAN/C-TAG" in the VLAN ID input field has a meaning.
Even if the condition "VLAN(S-TAG)" is configured, it is ignored, and resources meeting the conditions of "VLAN/C-TAG" are displayed.
The icons displayed when a VLAN is displayed are those from "11.2.9.1 Resource Display" enclosed with a green frame.
If a problem occurs on a resource, a status icon indicating the problem is shown on top of the resource's own icon.
For details on status icons, refer to "11.2.9.1 Resource Display".
Related Resources
Displays specified resources with the physical-logical relationship icon.
When the "physical-logical relationship icon" is displayed with the resources, switching the view using the view pointer shows the relationship between the physical resources and logical resources.
