Chapter 5 Working with Prime Network Vision Maps
Opening and Closing Maps
Opening and Closing Maps
Whenever you open a map, the network information is automatically refreshed. For example, if a device
was up the last time that the map was saved and closed, and then the device is moved to maintenance,
the next time you open the map the management status of the device is updated accordingly and the
device displays a maintenance status.
When you first log in, Prime Network Vision lists the maps you recently viewed but did not close when
you exited the session. You can also open other maps by choosing File > Open, which displays the Open
Map dialog.
By default, you can view and work on a maximum of five maps at any given time (per client instance)
in the Prime Network Vision window. To change this default setting, contact your Cisco account
representative. To create a new map or select a new map, close the required number of maps.
You can save maps as images or print them, if desired.
To close a map, choose File > Close. Prime Network Vision saves basic map information whether or not
you manually save the map. This default information includes device and link additions, device and link
removals, aggregations, and disaggregations. If you made any changes that will not be saved, Prime
Network Vision prompts you to save the map.
