Interactive Map

The interactive map, also known as the topology map or the network map, is a dynamic map of your monitored devices and the subnets to which they are connected.

The map is created using Topology Intelligence.

You can enter the details of a network traffic flow to see the path of the traffic on the map.

The interactive map includes:

Object

Description

Actions

Cloud

A group of subnets for which a device routes traffic through an interface to an unknown gateway.

The default name of the cloud includes the gateway listed for the routes.

Right click a cloud to see the known subnets that are in the cloud.

For a cloud, you can:

  • Change its name
  • Change its zone type
  • Join or detach other clouds

Generic Device

A network device that is not monitored by SecureTrack but is included in topology calculations.

Click on a generic device to see its interfaces, IP addresses and routing table.

For a generic device you can:

  • Change its name
  • Upload a new interface and routing file

Monitored Device

A network device that is monitored by SecureTrack.

The names of the interfaces are shown on the connections from the device.

Click on a device to see its interfaces, IP addresses and routing table.

Subnet

A network subnet that is connected to at least one device interface.

Click on a subnet to see the device interfaces that are connected to it and the IP addresses of the interfaces.

For a subnet, you can:

  • Change its subnet type (Internal, External or DMZ)
  • Join or detach interfaces to the subnet

Subnet and Cloud Groups

A group of subnets or clouds that are all only connected to one monitored device.

Click on to open the group and see the subnets and clouds in the group.

Connectivity between virtual systems

Connectivity between two virtual systems (such as virtual firewalls for Panorama)

None

F5 devices

 

A connection that is established over IPSEC.

None

Policy-based routing (PBR) for Cisco IOS routers

None

VxLAN EVPN for Cisco Nexus switches

None

A vNet peering connection; two virtual networks (VNets) connected through the Azure backbone network

None

A VPC peering connection; a networking connection between two VPCs that enables you to route traffic between them using private IPv4 addresses or IPv6 addresses

None

Transit Gateway; a service that enables you to connect thousands of Amazon Virtual Private Clouds (Amazon VPCs) and their on-premises networks using a single gateway

None

Cisco ACI

Right click a Cisco ACI device to display its associated routes and subnets.

Click to see the subnets.

Prerequisites

  • Make sure that all of the devices that impact your topology are monitored by SecureTrack.

    For devices that are not monitored, you can add a generic device to represent the device with its interfaces and routes.

  • Permissions

    Access to the map is given only to users with sufficient permissions. The menu option Map will appear only for these users:

    • Administrators
    • Super Administrators
    • Multi-domain administrators, when a domain context is selected and not when All Domains is selected.
