To display link statuses on a map in Network Atlas, what action is required?

• A. Edit the link line and select the appropriate router interface
• B. Add a dedicated Link Status widget
• C. Enable SNMP on the link
• D. Import a link status file

Answer: (A)

When you want a map to show live link statuses, you must tell Network Atlas which exact interface on the devices represents each connection. This is done by editing the link line and selecting the appropriate router interface. Once the link is bound to that interface, Atlas can pull the interface status (via SNMP) and reflect it directly on the map. Adding a separate Link Status widget would show status elsewhere, not on the map itself, and simply enabling SNMP or importing a status file won’t bind the map to a specific link’s interface.
