Viewing Link Properties
Viewing Link Properties
In maps, you can view a link only if both ends of the link are in your scope. However, Prime Network
Vision provides an option that allows users to view links and any associated tickets if only one end of
the link is in your scope. For more information about this option, see the Cisco Prime Network 4.0
Administrator Guide.
Prime Network Vision provides information about links in the following ways:
• Through the physical characteristics of the link in a map, tooltips, and link quick views—See
Viewing Link Properties in Prime Network Vision Maps, page 6-4.
• In the Links view—See Viewing Link Properties in the Links View, page 6-8.
• In the link properties window—See Viewing Link Properties in the Link Properties Window,
page 6-10.
Viewing Link Properties in Prime Network Vision Maps
The representation of a link in a map provides information about that link. The characteristics that
provide information about a link are:
• Whether the link is solid or dashed.
• Whether or not the link displays an arrow at one end.
• Link color.
Table 6-3 describes the link variations that can be displayed in a map and provides examples of each.

Solid line Physical, topological, or service link, such as a
link between two devices.
Dashed line Association or business link between such
elements as EVCs, VPLS service instances, or
VPN components.
