Topology Node and Edge Mapping Rules

InfraLynx maps topology visuals from explicit infrastructure records rather than inferred network guesses.

Node Mapping

Each rendered node represents one device.

Required node fields:

• device ID
• device name
• device role
• site ID and site name
• device tone
• interface count
• VLAN IDs

Node positions are derived from deterministic layout rules:

• site determines the horizontal region
• role determines the vertical band
• name and ID determine stable ordering within a band

Edge Mapping

Each rendered edge represents an explicit relationship between two devices.

Supported edge kinds:

• cable-link
• l2-adjacency
• l3-adjacency
• vlan-propagation

Required edge fields:

• edge ID
• source device ID
• target device ID
• edge kind
• label
• VLAN IDs

Filtering Rules

• site filter removes nodes outside the selected site and drops orphaned edges
• role filter removes nodes that do not match the selected role and drops orphaned edges
• VLAN filter keeps only nodes and edges explicitly tagged with the selected VLAN

The UI never reconstructs hidden links after filtering. If a node or edge is filtered out, it is absent from the rendered graph.
