What is the Troubleshooting map?

View object information

The Troubleshooting map displays an NE or link in a graphical context, in relation to associated objects. You can view information about NEs and links, either in short-form in a pop-up window, or in detail in separate NSP GUI.

Note: The Troubleshooting Map does not support LAG link members, LLDP links with endpoints with the destination MAC address set to Nearest Customer, or links to unmanaged endpoints.
