Device Topology Views

This section provides brief descriptions of the Device Topology view available for models of STHi devices in SPECTRUM.

Device Topology views show the connections between a modeled device and other network entities. There is one Device Topology view available for STHi models:

• Interface Device Topology View

Interface Device Topology ViewAccess: From the Icon Subviews menu for the STHi Device icon, select DevTop.

The lower panel of the Interface Device Topology view (Figure 7) uses interface icons to represent the device’s serial/network I/O ports. These icons provide the same information and menu options as those in the Icon Subviews menu for the STHi Device icon. If there is a device connected to a particular interface, a device icon appears on the vertical bar above the interface icon along with an icon representing the network group that contains the device.

Application Views

This section describes the main Application view and the associated application-specific subviews available for models of STHi devices in SPECTRUM.

Access: From the Icon Subviews menu for the Device icon, select Application.

When a device model is created, SPECTRUM automatically creates models for each of the major and minor applications supported by the device. The Application view identifies all of these application models, shows their current condition status, and provides access to application-specific subviews.

Figure 8 shows an Application view in its default mode (Icon) where each of the application models is represented by an Application icon (see Figure 9 for a close-up). The Application icons are arranged hierarchically under a Device icon, with major applications in the top row and their respective minor applications stacked directly below.

If you prefer to see applications displayed by name only, in a single vertical list, select View > Mode > List.

Model Information Views

This section provides a brief description of the Model Information views available for models of STHi devices in SPECTRUM.

Model Information views provide descriptive and configuration information about SPECTRUM models of individual devices, interfaces, and applications. Figure 12 shows an example of the Model Information view accessed from the Icon Subviews menu for the STHi model’s Device icon. Model Information views are also available for each of the Interface icons in the Interface Device and Interface Device Topology views, and for each of the Application icons in the Application view. Although these views may vary slightly depending on the particular entity being modeled, their basic layout and content are similar for most SPECTRUM management modules. Therefore, these views are described in more detail in the SPECTRUM Views documentation.
