Using filtering and cropping, you can hide and show certain selected
objects. Also, you can
explicitly hide visible connections and
show hidden ones between certain interface objects. For this
purpose, the context menus of:
- CHPIDs
- switch ports
- controller channel interfaces
contain the choices
Hide Connection or
Show Connection. The
Hide
Connection choice hides the complete connection between two object
interfaces, even if it consists of multiple physical cables. The
Show Connection choice makes hidden connections
visible again in the configuration diagram.
You can also hide and show multiple selected connections in one
step: select the desired interfaces in the diagram and then invoke the appropriate
action from the View menu bar choice (View --> Hide selected connections or View --> Show selected connections).
Hidden connections are usually indicated by a "stub" in the diagram as placeholder for the
whole connection.
You also can redisplay all currently hidden connections via push button Show hidden connections in the Change View Attributes dialog (see Figure 1).
