PRTG Manual: Manual Links
Occasionally you may want to manually link devices so that they are represented correctly on topology maps. Manually linked devices will be treated similar to devices linked by the link calculator.
Manual links can be viewed on the topology maps or by using the manual links viewer launched from the Home tab of the main application view. The manual links viewer allows you to, Add and Delete manual links.
Each manual link consists of a source device with interface and a target device with interface. Interfaces are not required when creating manual links. The order of the link is irrelevant. When manual links are presented the display name of the device and interface are included along with the interface index.
To add a manual link in the manual link viewer press the add button and configure the link using the manual link editor.
To add links from the map select one or two devices and pressing the 'Link To...' or 'Link Selected...' menu item available on the device context menu. The manual link editor will be displayed which allows the interfaces to be selected.
Deleting Manual Links
Manual links can be deleted in the manual link viewer by selecting the links in the list and pressing the delete button.
Manual links can also be deleted on the map by right clicking the link and using the 'Un-Link' context menu item.
To edit/create a manual link in the manual link editor you must select both a source and target device using the device selectors. Optionally manual link interfaces can be selected using the interface drop down selectors when the devices have interfaces available. Interfaces are not required to create a manual link. When the devices and interfaces are selected the link can be created by pressing the OK button.
