SNMPc 7 - Castle Rock Computing

Moving Map ObjectsSNMPc normally uses a discovery process to add subnets, devices, links, and networks in a logicaltopology that represents a two-level IP Subnet hierarchy. The top level includes all router devices andsubnet icons. The second layer includes single-port devices linked to Bus Networks under theappropriate subnet icons. The top level map is automatically arranged as a star network.Map objects are placed on the nearest Map Grid Point when you move them. Use the Config/ConsoleOptions menu and select the Show Grid check box to show map grid points. Set the grid size in theGrid Spacing edit box.To Move Objects at the Root LevelSince the discovery agent will continually arrange the top map level, before changing the root levelmanually you need to change the way discovery works. Use the Config/Discovery-Polling menu andthen do one of the following:1. Uncheck the Enable Discovery checkboxso that discovery is completely disabled2. Select Discovered Objects from the Layoutpull-down so that any newly discoveredobjects are added to a separate subnet iconnamed Discovered Objects.3. Select Top Level/Incremental from theLayout pull-down so that any newlydiscovered objects are added using anincremental layout algorithm that doesn’tdisturb the existing layout.To move objects at the top level just select one or more objects in a map view and drag the mouse. Theselected objects are moved to the new mouse location. The following two map views show anautomatically (left) and manually (right) arranged Root Submap level:12
