Chapter 8: Network Maps
Network maps overview
The Network Map is the set of devices that can be viewed in the Avaya Network Management
Console. The database lets you store information on the devices found in a Network Map. You
can create a number of Network Maps and save them in the database. This can be useful in
maintaining backups when major changes are made to the Network Map. When changes are
made to a Network Map, they are saved in the map’s Postgres database.
Devices can be imported into a Network Map from a text file. In addition, you can export the
Network Map for use with other applications. For more information on exporting the current
Network Map, refer to
Exporting the Network Map on page 88.
