Re: Maps - MPLS - Link utilization

Hi Eric,

We've kind of achieved this. Example that I've just quickly done in Network Atlas:

Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.

1. Click Add Object.
2. Right click the new object and Select Graphic.Go to Scaleable Icons, Shapes and select HollowCloud2.
3. Add a label as "MPLS" as the text and drag this inside the cloud.
4. Add an MPLS router node and drag this inside the cloud.
5. Add the network switch that the above MPLS router is connected to on the LAN and place this in the correct location (e.g. London).
6. Now run the ConnectNow to connect all L2+L3 links.

You should end up with something like the screenshot above.

It's far from perfect but it's a shortcoming of Network Atlas/NPM. Depending on the order you do things and the object icons you use, you can for example place the "cloud" over the nodes you place inside the cloud so it hides them to make it look nicer. Unfortunately there's no "bring to front" or "send to back" functionality in Network Atlas. I have raised this as an idea so please vote on it

I hope this helps but it appears this is the only "solution".
