Nodes swapped with another switch node
Nodes are repositioned after expanding or collapsing link bundles in any of the topology layouts.
Sometimes the nodes are not only repositioned but also swapped with another switch node.
Lettering in legend unreadable when printed
When you print a topology layout in one page that does not originally fit the screen, the lettering in
the legend becomes too small to read.
To avoid this problem, zoom the Topology view so that it fits on the screen. Use the snapshot
feature to save the layout to a PNG graphics file. Then, using a graphics program or web browser,
print out the topology from one of these applications.
Links do not reconfigure after disruptive failover
Links sometimes do not reconfigure correctly in the core-edge topology mode after a disruptive HA
failover, causing them to be out of proportion.
Whenever the ISL links that connect to the nodes end up out of proportion, select any of the ISL link
styles and the topology layout issue is then corrected.
Nodes Overlap
If you move nodes and then redo the view in the tree layout, the nodes can sometimes overlap.
