Visualize network infrastructure
Use the Network visualization view in the Telecommunications Network Inventory to explore your network infrastructure. You can explore the details about your network site, datacenter, and topology of your network.
Network visualization overview
The Network visualization provides various options to visualize the network infrastructure-related functions in the Telecommunications Network Inventory application. You can use the Network visualization to view the geographical location of your network sites, the floor plan in a datacenter, and the topology of your network.
The following features are available in the Network visualization view:
- Geo map
- Use the geo map to see the geographical location of your network sites and datacenters. You can also get details such as site specific, connectivity, and capacity. To learn more, see Geo map.
- Floor map
- Use the floor map to view the location of network assets on a datacenter floor. You can also view the operational details of the datacenter on the map, so you can keep an eye on power, thermal, and usage data. To learn more, see Floor map.
- Topology
- With the topology map, you can see how elements connect to each other in a network, such as equipment and interfaces. Get a high-level view of your whole network. To learn more, see Network topology.
