The Data Network Topology View
==============================
The Data Network Topology view shows data networks and worker host data
interface connections for the system using a color-coded graphical display.
Active alarm information is also shown in real time. You can select individual
hosts or networks to highlight their connections and obtain more details.

Selection and Navigation
------------------------
The Data Network Topology view shows all worker hosts and data networks
graphically in a framed topology window, and lists them by name in the **Worker
Hosts** and **Data Networks** lists to the left of the window. You can select
an entity using the window or the lists. The selected entity is highlighted in
both places.
If the topology of the system is too large to fit in the window, you can drag
inside the window to see other areas. You can also bring an entity into view by
selecting it from the lists. The view is panned automatically to show the
entity.

-------------------------------
Additional Details for Entities
-------------------------------
When you select an entity, associated entities are highlighted in the **Worker
Hosts** list or the **Data Networks** list. For example, if you select the
**group0-data0** data network, all hosts attached to it are highlighted in the
**Worker Hosts** list.
Additional information for the selected entity is available in tabbed pages
below the topology window.
.. _the-data-network-topology-view-ul-z5z-czh-mx:
- For a worker host, the additional information includes the **Overview**,
**Interfaces**, and **LLDP** tabs from the Host Detail, as well as a
**Related Alarms** tab that lists any active alarms associated with the
host.
- For a data network, the additional information includes the
**Data Network Detail** tab from the Data Network Overview, and a
**Related Alarms** tab that lists any active alarms associated with the
data network.

Alarm Reporting
---------------
Active alarms for entities are displayed in real time in the topology window,
using icons superimposed on the entities. The alarms are color-coded for
severity using the same colors as the Global Alarm Banner. Details for the
alarms are listed in the **Related Alarms** tab for the entity.

Labels for Network Connections
------------------------------
Network connections in the topology window may be labeled with the data
interface name \(displayed above the connection line\) and LLDP neighbor
information \(displayed below the connection line\). You can show or hide the
labels using a button above the lists \(**Show Labels** or **Hide Labels**\).
