ABSTRACT:
A network mapping tool efficiently organizes and displays topology data of an internetwork computing system as a hierarchical collection of network maps, i.e., a network atlas. The tool includes a management server that collects, organizes and records the topology data as an atlas on a network topology database. A management console interacts with the server to provide a graphical user interface for displaying the atlas on a computer screen in a variety of views that facilitate comprehension of logical relationships between various components of the system.
