Abstract: The subject disclosure describes solutions for graphically displaying hierarchical relationships between a network underlay and a network overlay. In some aspects, a method of the technology includes steps for aggregating associations between each of a plurality of physical network devices and one or more virtual network entities, displaying two or more pivot options that graphically represent the physical network devices and/or the virtual network entities, and receiving a pivot selection indicating at least one physical network device or virtual network entity for which hierarchy information is requested by a user. In some aspects, the method can further include steps for graphically displaying one or more layers of a network hierarchy based on the pivot selection. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.

Abstract: In some implementations, a method includes obtaining a first visual representation of a first network topology of a network and a second visual representation of a second network topology. The first network topology includes a first set of network devices and a first set of connections between the first set of network devices. The second network topology includes a second set of network devices and a second set of connections between the second set of network devices. The method also includes alternating between presenting the first visual representation and presenting the second visual representation based on user input.
