Hiding and Un-hiding Detail
It is easy to create maps with more detail than you may want to see,
especially if your network contains one or more switches. This is because
InterMapper periodically scans routers and switches and displays newly
discovered interfaces. If you delete a network oval from the map, InterMapper no longer polls
the associated interfaces.
- Use the Delete command to delete one or more networks.
Select the networks you don't want to see, then choose Delete from the
Edit menu, or press the Delete key. InterMapper does not poll interfaces for deleted networks.
- Create
sub-maps - If you want to hide detail, but still want to monitor
its state, and view it occasionally, you can create separate maps containing
the detail you want to hide, then make a new map with devices which use
the Map
Status probe. Each device represents a "sub-map." .
- Use the Interfaces window to hide or show interfaces.
