ABSTRACT:
A large scale system status map is displayed. The map is available to the user at the three different levels of detail. At the top level, the map shows a network of nodes displayed individually as contiguous pixels which are grouped into variable size regions. The regions are in turn grouped into clusters. The clusters are preferably displayed as geographically distinct shapes separated by white space. Each cluster will typically correspond to groups of networks within different buildings. Each cluster contains one or more regions indicated by the line-delimited squares of varying size; the regions will typically correspond to distinct groups of nodes such as node belonging to the same network or subnet.
