The Map tab contains the Topology and Data View functions
Topology
bitB creates dynamic topology maps. There are three types of topology maps. They are Physical, vPhysical and Logical.
Physical Topology
Physical Maps show physical device connections. No Layer 2 information is shown in a Physical Topology Map.
Information shown on a Physical Topology:
Physical Devices
Physical Interfaces
vPhysical Topology
vPhysical Maps show physical device connections and Layer 2 information.
Information shown on vPhysical Topology:
Physical Device Context
Security Context
Port-channels
VLANS
Logical Topology
Logical Maps show Layer 3 device connections and information.
Information shown on a Logical Topology:
Virtual Routing and Forwarding Instances (VRFs) Containers
vPhysical Instances of Devices
vLogical Instances of Devices
Switched Viertual Interfaces (SVIs)
Interface IP Addresses
Layer 3 Subnets
VLANs associated with Layer 3 Subnets
View Data
Physical Grid
the Physical Grid shows the information used to create the Physical Topology.
vPhysical Grid
The vPhysical Grid shows the information used to create the vPhysical Topology.
Logical Grid
The Logical Grid shows the information used to create the Logical Topology.
Drawing Tools
Refresh Drawing
The refresh drawing icon will change to orange when new data is available to display.
Export
The Topologies can be exported to many image formats. In addition, the Topologies can be exported to PDF or Visio.
Zoom in %
You can select a specific Zoom % or choose one of the preset zoom options - Fit, Heigh, Stretch or Width.
Log File
The log file records events from all process running in bitB. The log file is very useful for troubleshooting. Plus, the log file is usually requested by bitB support to help resolve issues.
