Abstract

See full text

Discovery/layout software configures a general purpose computer system to act as a management station using an industry standard SNMP protocol. The discovery/layout software has a discovery mechanism and a layout mechanism which, in combination, permit the discovery/layout software to provide various submaps to a display for illustrating network topology, which includes devices and device interconnections of a network. The submaps correspond to various hierarchical views of a network. Significantly, one or more filtering systems are provided in the discovery/layout software for filtering objects to be displayed within the submaps. The filtering systems reduce clutter in the submaps, reduce memory usage and associated expense, and reduce interprocess communication (context switching) to achieve higher performance.
