Viewing details for a managed router

For managed routers on a Colt service, Network Visibility (available within Control Center) shows details for the router: device ID, management IP address, vendor and model, etc. If the router configuration is available, Control Center adds a link to view the configuration file. You can also use Network Visibility to view environmental metrics and WAN- and LAN-side interfaces (including associated interface metrics) for the router.

To view details for a managed router:

  1. Click Monitoring, then click Network Visibility.

    Control Center opens the Network Visibility dashboard. On the map, Control Center shows locations with services needing your attention. Tiles show services with high utilization or critical issues, services that are down or have threshold warnings, as well as open tickets and scheduled maintenance for your services. Use the Map View, List View, Backbone Performance, and Summary Reports tabs above the tiles to toggle between views.
