How do I place a region on the Map Layout?

Purpose

If a newly-created region is GEO located and contains at least one GEO-located NE or router, the region is placed automatically on the Map Layout. If the region is not GEO-located, it must be manually placed and sized on the map.

Note: If no background map graphic appears in the Map Layout GUI, it can be configured through the NSP system settings; see How do I configure NSP system settings?.

Steps
 

Open Map Layout.


In the Map Layout GUI, select Physical or IGP from the Layer drop-down list, depending on which map layer you want to add a region to.


Click png17.png Unplaced Regions.

A png18.png red flag on the icon indicates that unplaced regions are present. Newly-created regions may take up to 30 seconds to become completely available in the Map Layout GUI.


In the Unplaced Regions list, click on a region icon to place it on the map. On the map, click and drag the region into position.

The Move Zone/Region With Contents option must be enabled on the map palette under png7.png Clustering Controls before you can add a region to the map.


Double-click the region to expand it and move NE or router icons into position.
