• Interactive graphical topology map—Use the topology map to access element information and further customize the map display. You can configure the color legend at the bottom left corner by clicking the legend.

• Network information table—The network information table at the bottom of the window can be configured to display Node, Link, Tunnel, Demand, Interface, Anycast Group, Container LSP, IPE Policy, Maintenance, P2MP Group, and SRLG/Facility tabs across the top of the table. Click a tab to display information for the type selected. The Node, Link, and Tunnel tabs are displayed by default.
