A method for generating a graphical overlay indicating component characteristics for a graphical representation of an information handling system includes determining one or more component characteristics of one or more hardware components of a second information handling system, generating a first graphical overlay for a first graphical representation of a physical configuration of the one or more hardware components based on the one or more component characteristics, determining a selected view, and displaying the first graphical overlay and the first graphical representation based on the determination of the selected view.

Graphical user interface overlays for contextual hardware component information

A port configuration replication system includes a first networking device including a first port, and a second networking device including a second port. A management device communicates with the first networking device to provide a first networking device Graphical User Interface (GUI) that displays port configuration details for the first port. The management device then copies the port configuration details, and analyzes the port configuration details to identify port configuration replication information. The management device then communicates with the second networking device to display a second networking device GUI that provides for the configuration of the second port, and provides the port configuration replication information in the second networking device GUI in order to provide for the configuration of the second port.
