To limit the number of nodes displayed on the topology map, you can use the following functions:

• Filtering by device status
  1. In the toolbar located above the topology map, open the Device statuses drop-down list.

     You will see a list containing the names of statuses for known devices (Unauthorized, Authorized, Archived), and the Unmanaged switch status for unmanaged switches.

  2. In the drop-down list, select the check boxes for the statuses of devices that need to be displayed on the topology map.
  3. Click OK.

  The topology map will display only those nodes that have the selected statuses.

• Filtering by device security state
  1. In the toolbar located above the topology map, open the Device states drop-down list.

     You will see a list containing the names of security states for devices (OK, Warning, Critical).

  2. In the drop-down list, select the check boxes for the security states of devices that need to be displayed on the topology map.
  3. Click OK.

  The topology map will display only those nodes that represent devices with the selected security states.

• Filtering by device category
  1. In the toolbar located above the topology map, open the Device categories drop-down list.

     You will see a list containing the names of categories for known devices, as well as an individual category for unmanaged switches.

  2. In the drop-down list, select the check boxes for the categories of devices that need to be displayed on the topology map.
  3. Click OK.

  The topology map will display only those nodes that represent the selected categories of devices.

• Filtering by VLAN ID in topology settings
  1. In the toolbar located above the topology map, open the VLAN ID drop-down list.

     You will see a window containing a field for entering VLAN IDs.

  2. Enter one or more VLAN IDs of devices that need to be displayed on the topology map.

     You can specify several identifiers separated by comma or as a range (for example: 1, 2, 4-6, 8).

  3. Click OK.

  The topology map will display only those nodes whose topology settings include ports with the defined VLAN IDs.

• Enabling and disabling the display of nodes that do not have links to other nodes

  By default, the topology map displays all nodes regardless of whether they have links to other nodes. If necessary, you can disable the display of all nodes that do not have links with other nodes on the topology map.

  To enable or disable the display of nodes that do not have links to other nodes:

  Use the Display unlinked nodes toggle button in the toolbar located above the topology map.

• Resetting the filter settings

  You can reset the defined node filtering settings to their default state.

  To reset the defined filter settings on the topology map:

  In the toolbar located above the topology map, click the Default filter button (this button is displayed if filter settings have been defined).
