VPN Topology View
date_range
18-Nov-23
The VPN Topology View (or VPN View) presents to the user a clear, logical view of each individual VPN.
To display a logical topology view of any particular VPN, simply click on the VPN Topology tab (next to the Details tab). You may also move the nodes around as desired in the VPN topology view map. The following figures show the VPN View for various VPNs. Note that CEs are shown as router icons when the config file is available; otherwise, a computer icon is shown.
Figure 1: VPN View for a L2CCC VPN (with the selected circuit
highlighted in pink)
Figure 2: VPN View for an Inter-AS VPN (called INTER-AS)
You may also display additional information (i.e., RD, Route Targets, interface) for a node by clicking on it for a pop-up window to appear, as shown in the following figure.
Figure 3: Green pop-up information window for a node
There is also a right-click menu that you can use to perform basic functions to manipulate the topology and the labels.
