Abstract
Systems and methods for displaying network node ports and related information in a network topology display. The user is able to clearly view ports of a connection device in the network and to view additional port information, such as the port type and the port number, for connected and unconnected ports of a network connection device. In addition, the user is able to toggle between a 'show ports' mode and a 'hide ports' mode for each connection device to view detailed information about the connection device ports or to hide the information in order to simplify the display.
