Topology

Data sources

vConfig builds the topology from what your network actually says:

  • Config parsing — OSPF/IS-IS neighbor relationships extracted from the latest backups.
  • BGP-LS — optional live link-state collection from one or more topology source devices, merged with IS-IS state.
  • Manual — hand-maintained neighbors for links that can't be discovered.

Multi-level POP topology

  • Group devices into POP nodes; inter-POP links are generated automatically from the neighbor table.
  • Drill down from the national/backbone view into per-POP sub-topologies.
  • Links can be associated with interface traffic graphs and display Cacti/Weathermap-style live traffic mini-charts on the map.

Working with the map

  • Drag nodes to arrange; positions are saved per user.
  • Click a link for latency/jitter/loss history (from neighbor monitoring).
  • Export the current view as an image for reports.
