a very useful feature would be layered charts, each of the layers should produce distinct layers with links to the layer below
IE
- layer 1 is the wan architecture just showing sites and types of links between them
- this should also be linkage into NPM ie NPM should be able to display this map and integrate each element
- Each site router, would be linkable in real time to layer 2
- layer two is one page for each site, the details in the site view could be varied ie only routing and switching gear
- this shows just the network equipment at this site
- if a user in NTM or NPM double clicks a site should in layer one, this page appears ie a zoom in function
- layer 3 covers all the devices that hang from later 2
- show all the end user devices, NAS, SAN, FW, LB, WAN ACC, AS DNS etc etc
