Network View

The Network View displays device association connectivity among wireless controllers, service platforms, access points, and wireless clients. This association is represented by a number of different graphs. The Network View is helpful in assessing whether controllers and access point radios are properly deployed in areas where high volumes of client traffic are anticipated.

The screen displays icons for the different views available to the system. Apart from device specific icons, the following three icons are available:
  • default – Displays information about the default RF Domain.
  • system – Displays information about the current system.
  • cluster – Displays information about clusters managed by this system.

Use the icons to navigate quickly within top level groupings.

The middle field displays a Network View, or graphical representation of the network. Nodes display whether or not they are members of a cluster or mesh domain. Use this information to assess whether the topology of the network has changed in such a manner that devices need to be added or moved. This field changes to display a graphical network map.

Use the Lock / Unlock icon in the upper right of the screen to prevent users from moving APs around within the specified area.
