LOGICAL NETWORK VIEW

Overview

You can open the LOGICAL NETWORK VIEW either way:

By clicking Open Logical Network View in the context menu of the system project name, the Logical Networks node, or a logical network in the SYSTEM PROJECT pane.
By clicking Logical Network View in the Open With submenu of a device.
By using the Views menu in the toolbar.

It gives you an overview of the network configuration of devices that exist in your system project and that manage at least one IPv4 address. As such, it facilitates the management of many devices at system project level.

The view is refreshed when you or other users modify the configuration of objects that are shown.

NOTE: IPv6 addresses are not shown in this view.

Description

Item	Description
1	The column shows the name of the following objects that exist in the system project: Logical networks. Devices and modules that manage at least one IP address.
2	Name of the interface of the device to which an IP address is assigned. When the interface manages several IP addresses, their name is indicated. The following syntax is used in this column to identify interfaces and their IP addresses: Embedded Interface: Identifies the interface of the internal processor of the device (host address). <Port name>_Interface: Indicates that the interface is not the embedded one (for example, it is one of the external ports of a routing switch, Port1_Interface).
3	IP address that is assigned to the interface. You can modify the address.
4	Indicates the validity of the IP address in relation to the logical network that the interface belongs to. Possible values: No Configuration : The interface is not yet assigned to a logical network. Valid IP Address : The IP address is valid on the logical network to which the interface belongs. Invalid IP Address : The IP address is not valid on the logical network to which the interface belongs. You can reassign it.
5	Lets you create a logical network.
6	Search field. Enter one or more terms separated by a space and the window displays objects whose name contains any of these terms. Objects are displayed with the logical network they belong to.
7	Entries are grouped by logical network. The logical network group indicates the name of the logical network that the interface belongs to. In addition, the CIDR notation suffix and address of the network are indicated. You can change the logical network assignment but you cannot create logical networks in this view.
8	For devices that manage several IP addresses, an entry is displayed for each one of them. The entry appears under the respective logical network group.
9	Interfaces pertaining to a same device appear under different logical network groups if the assignment of their respective interfaces is different.
10	Existing logical networks to which no interface is assigned are also shown.
11	Interfaces for which no logical network is defined are shown in the NOCONF group.

NOTE: You can shift columns and sort and filter entries.

Context Menu Commands

The table describes the commands of the context menu of a device that are specific to the LOGICAL NETWORK VIEW . For a description of the other commands, refer to the topics describing the context menu commands for logical networks and devices.

Command	Description
Reassign IP Address	Lets you replace the invalid IP address of the selected interfaces with the next available IP address on the logical network. If the status of an address is Valid IP Address, it remains unchanged except if it is not unique, in which case the software assigns the next available IP address to the interface. When you select several interfaces in the view, IP addresses are reassigned in the order that you have selected the interfaces. Within a logical network, when you select all the interfaces that have a same IP address, the IP address of the interface that you have selected first is unchanged (given it is valid). NOTE: If you select several interfaces to reassign their IP addresses and not enough IP addresses are available, the reassignment of IP addresses is done only partially and a notification is displayed.

Command

Description

Reassign IP Address

Lets you replace the invalid IP address of the selected interfaces with the next available IP address on the logical network.

If the status of an address is Valid IP Address, it remains unchanged except if it is not unique, in which case the software assigns the next available IP address to the interface.

When you select several interfaces in the view, IP addresses are reassigned in the order that you have selected the interfaces.

Within a logical network, when you select all the interfaces that have a same IP address, the IP address of the interface that you have selected first is unchanged (given it is valid).

NOTE: If you select several interfaces to reassign their IP addresses and not enough IP addresses are available, the reassignment of IP addresses is done only partially and a notification is displayed.

Multiselection of Entries

When you select multiple entries in the LOGICAL NETWORK VIEW, the PROPERTIES pane shows the tabs and attributes that the devices have in common.
