ABSTRACT:
A network navigation and viewing system is disclosed for use in managing a network. The network includes a plurality of digital devices interconnected by communication links in at least one domain, with each device having a device identifier and each domain having a domain identifier. The network navigation and viewing system facilitates generation of a graphical image depicting a logical organization of the network. The network navigation and viewing system in one aspect retrieving device identifier and domain identifier information for the devices connected in the network and uses them to generate a network organization graphical image for display to an operator, the image comprising a plurality of icons each representing a device, with the icons being aggregated in the network organization graphical image by domain thereby to depict the logical organization of the network. The system further enables the operator to use the network organization graphical image generate a further graphical image representing the three-dimensional physical layout of the computers in an office or other environment. In addition, the system will generate a network usage graphical image representing certain communications sessions between devices over the network.
