This chapter discusses the CF topology table as it relates to the CF portion of the Cluster Admin GUI.
The CF topology table is part of the CF portion of the Cluster Admin GUI. The topology table may be invoked from the Tools->Topology menu item in the GUI (refer to the Section "4.5 Displaying the topology table" in the Chapter "GUI administration"). It is also available during CF configuration in the CF Wizard in the GUI.
The topology table is designed to show the network configuration from perspective of CF. It shows what devices are on the same interconnects and can communicate with each other.
The topology table only considers Ethernet devices. It does not include any IP interconnects that might be used for CF, even if CF over IP is configured.
Displayed devices
The topology table is generated by doing CF pings on all the nodes in the cluster and then analyzing the results.
The rest of this chapter discusses the format of the topology table. The examples implicitly assume that all devices can be seen on each node. Again, this would be the case when first configuring a CF cluster.
