Network Topology

Overview

The Network Topology view provides a visual map of your entire ISP network, displaying routers, access points, OLTs, and other managed devices alongside the logical connections between them. Rather than piecing together the network picture from separate device lists, you can see the full infrastructure at a glance in a single interactive diagram.

What the Map Shows

The topology diagram renders each managed device as a node and draws edges between devices that are logically or physically connected. Typical elements you will see include:

• Core and distribution routers — the MikroTik or other routers that carry traffic between your network segments.
• Access points — Ubiquiti, Cambium, or other wireless devices hanging off the routers they backhaul through.
• OLTs and PON ports — fibre headend equipment and its downstream connections to ONU devices.
• Link status — connections are often colour-coded or annotated to indicate whether a link is active or down, helping you trace the impact of a failure.

Using Topology for Troubleshooting

When a customer reports an outage, the topology map lets you quickly identify which upstream device or link is responsible. By tracing the path from the customer's ONU or AP back toward the core, you can pinpoint the failing segment without manually querying each device. A greyed-out or red link in the diagram immediately flags where the break is.

Network Planning

The topology view is also a useful planning tool. Before adding new equipment or reconfiguring routing, you can review the existing layout to understand how a change will affect the broader network. Identifying single points of failure or overloaded links becomes straightforward when the entire network is visualised in one place.
