Introduction
The network topology explorer is your home base where you can view the topology organization of your Layer 1 and Layer 3 networks by providing a real-time perspective of their interconnectivity.
You can also view the visual representation of nodes and links, save views, search for specific device and perform different actions provided in the explorer.
