• To show aggregate links, click the Show Aggregate Links check box.
• To show unused ports, click the Show Unused Ports check box.
• To show a different label (name, hostname, S/N), select a different label from the Topology Label drop-down list (right side).
• To show a different layer, select a different layer from the Layer drop-down list.
• Choose to show all neighbors or only specific ones (generic, leaf, spine, and so on).

The traffic heat layer is shown below. The colors represent different available/used capacity based on the current system level TX/RX, averaged to 2 minutes, by default. If the aggregated TX or RX across all the device interfaces is < 20% it's green . If it's between 21-40%, it's yellow and so on. For each 20% difference, capacity is shown with a different color. (Server color is calculated based on the interface counters of the leaf ports facing that server. To see RX/TX per interface for a single node, click the node.

If any of a device's deployed ports are > 81% of its capacity in either RX or TX, a new "Alert" icon is shown on the device. (The screenshot below is for Apstra version 4.2.0, which may be slightly different from newer versions.)

Hovering over a node shows exact aggregated values.
