Node Group Map Settings Form

[This is the Context-Sensitive Help topic for the Node Group Map Settings form.]

Use the Node Group Map Settings form to configure maps based on currently defined Node Groups. Items you configure include the background image and type of connectivity (for example, Layer 2) to be displayed on the map.

NNMi displays the list of Node Group Map Settings that have default configuration changes. If NNMi does not display a list of Node Group Map Settings, this means that NNMi is using the default settings for each Node Group Map. To change the default settings for a Node Group Map, either reposition the nodes on the map of interest and select  Save Map from the Node Group Map toolbar or use the Node Group Map Settings form to create a Node Group Map Settings configuration as described below.

To configure Node Group Map Settings, do the following:

  1. Make your configuration choices (see table).
  2. Click  Save and Close to save and apply your changes.
