ABSTRACT:
A system and method are disclosed for generating a submap for nodes located within a flat network without reproducing the entire flat network in the submap. One method for implementing a flat network in a hierarchical network management system includes the steps of selecting a node of the flat network to create a submap having a node symbol, wherein the node symbol corresponds to the node, and generating a temporary symbol, in accordance with a predetermined criterion, for a link originating from the node symbol and terminating at the temporary symbol to represent a connection between the node and a second node of the flat network, wherein the temporary symbol maintains a characteristic of the second node. One system for establishing a submap for a flat network includes a processing unit coupled to a network processor and a storage unit coupled to the processing unit for storing data. The processing unit includes a graphics user interface for accepting commands from and displaying information to the operator and an application unit coupled to the graphics user interface and the network processor for displaying the flat network using the submap.
