Network Topology Definition

Explains the role and uses of most nodes and panels found under the Network Topology tree within the GUI client provided with Cisco Secure Policy Manager. It also presents the tasks required to create and configure these nodes and panels. However, just because a node or panel appears under the Network Topology tree does not mean that it will be discussed in this guide. The focus of this guide is on understanding how to define your network within the Network Topology tree and presenting the procedures required to accomplish this task. Representing your network correctly and accurately is key to using Cisco Secure Policy Manager effectively.
