Network Topology

Visualize Your Network with Interactive Topology Mapping

Understanding how devices are connected is just as important as knowing they exist. As networks grow in size and complexity, identifying relationships between switches, routers, wireless infrastructure, and connected devices becomes increasingly difficult without a visual representation.

SoldierX NMS automatically generates logical network topology maps, providing administrators with a centralized view of network connectivity. Instead of manually maintaining network diagrams, teams can visualize device relationships, navigate the infrastructure more efficiently, and simplify troubleshooting.

Whether you're investigating an outage, planning network changes, or documenting your infrastructure, Network Topology provides a clear picture of how your network is organized.

Automatically Generated Network Maps

Creating and maintaining network diagrams manually is both time-consuming and prone to becoming outdated.

SoldierX NMS automatically builds logical topology maps using information gathered during network discovery. As your infrastructure changes, scheduled discovery updates the topology to reflect the latest network layout, helping administrators work with current network information.

This automation reduces administrative effort while improving the accuracy of network documentation.

Logical Layer 2 and Layer 3 Visibility

Modern enterprise networks operate across multiple switching and routing layers.

SoldierX NMS provides logical visualization of both Layer 2 and Layer 3 connectivity, enabling administrators to better understand how network devices communicate within the infrastructure.

Rather than presenting isolated devices, the platform illustrates their relationships, making it easier to follow network paths and identify connected components.

Built on Open Networking Standards

Network topology is generated using information collected through widely adopted networking protocols:

LLDPARPICMPOther open networking protocols

By relying on open standards instead of proprietary discovery methods, the platform creates logical network maps across supported infrastructure while remaining optimized for COMMANDO networking devices.

Interactive Topology Navigation

Large network environments can contain hundreds of interconnected devices. SoldierX NMS provides interactive tools that make these environments easier to explore:

Zoom in and out of the topology
Rearrange device positions
Organize network layouts for better readability
Navigate through connected devices
Operational Context

Understand Device Relationships

Topology provides valuable context during daily network operations. By visualizing how devices connect with one another, administrators can:

Identify upstream and downstream devices
Understand switch-to-switch connectivity
Trace routing paths across the network
Locate neighboring infrastructure
Better understand network segmentation

Support Faster Troubleshooting

When network issues occur, understanding the surrounding infrastructure is essential. Logical topology helps administrators quickly determine which devices are connected, identify potential points of failure, and evaluate the impact of a device or link issue.

Topology That Evolves with Your Network

Networks are constantly changing as new devices are deployed or replaced. SoldierX NMS keeps topology aligned with these changes through scheduled discovery cycles, ensuring administrators work with an accurate representation of their infrastructure.

Simplify Network Documentation

By automatically generating logical network maps, SoldierX NMS reduces the need for manually created diagrams and provides a centralized reference for daily administration, infrastructure planning, and knowledge sharing.

Turn Network Connections into Clear Insights

A network is more than a collection of individual devices—it's the relationships between those devices that keep communication flowing. Explore the next feature to learn how SoldierX NMS automatically organizes device information through Network Inventory.
