Visualizing the Routing of Virtual Links

In the hardware diagram, you can visualize the routing of one or more virtual links on a given network in a read-only view.


Before you begin: Create a topology hardware containing networks of private virtual links or shared virtual links.
  1. From the Diagrams section of the action bar, click Show Virtual Link Routes .

    A dialog box appears. It lists the following elements:

    • The list of private virtual links for the topology associated with the active diagram.
    • The shared virtual links defined in the parent topology, if the topology is a subsystem.

  2. Select virtual links to highlight their routings.

    The current diagram switches into read-only.

    All the network elements involved in a routing are highlighted.

    Consequently, all entries, switches, Ethernet segments, and exists which are not concerned by the selection appear in gray.

  3. From the Diagrams section of the action bar, click Hide Virtual Link Routes to cancel the virtual link routing display and switch to edit mode.
