Viewing and configuring the display of a P2M service topology

To view and configure the display of a P2M service topology:

  1. In the menu, go to the Infrastructure section.

    This opens the resource management page. By default, the Network resources tab is selected, which displays the table of controllers.

  2. Click Management → Configuration menu next to the controller.

    This opens the controller configuration menu. By default, you are taken to the Controller nodes section, which displays a table of controller nodes.

  3. Go to the P2M services section.

    A table of P2M services is displayed.

  4. Click Management → Service topology next to the P2M service whose topology you want to view.

    This opens a window with the P2M service topology.

  5. If you need to move CPE devices, do one of the following:
    • If you want to manually change the position of CPE devices, click Manual and adjust the position of CPE devices.
    • If you want to automatically arrange CPE devices, click Automatically and select one of the following values from the displayed drop-down list:
      • Physical simulation — CPE devices are arranged approximately in accordance with their actual location relative to each other, for example:

        A topology of four CPE devices, constructed approximately in accordance with their real location.

      • Random — The arrangement of CPE devices is randomized, for example:

        A topology of four CPE devices constructed randomly.

      • Circle — CPE devices are arranged in accordance with a ring topology, for example:

        A ring topology of four CPE devices.

      • Breadthfirst — CPE devices are arranged horizontally, for example:

        A topology of four CPE devices constructed horizontally.

      • Concentric — CPE devices are arranged concentrically, for example:

        A concentric topology of four CPE devices.

      • Grid — CPE devices are arranged in accordance with a grid topology, for example:

        A grid topology of four CPE devices.

  6. If you want to display information about CPE devices, select the following check boxes:
    • Name displays the names of CPE devices.
    • IP address displays the IP addresses of CPE devices.

    These check boxes are cleared by default.

  7. If you want to display a segment between two CPE devices:
    1. Select the Segments check box. This check box is cleared by default.
    2. In the displayed drop-down lists, select the source and destination CPE devices of the segment.

    The segment between the CPE devices is displayed.
