Network Menu Overview
The Network menu from the main menu bar provides access to network information for all types of network elements. The most basic of these are nodes, links, and demands. Other types of network information are available depending on the hardware type of your network.
You can also access network information by right-clicking the mouse over a network object in the Map window. For example, to view node information, right-click the mouse over a node and select View > Node in the pop-up menu to display the properties for that node.
Table 1 shows the network menu options that are available.
