    Link Characteristics
    Color Severity Description
    Critical Critical alarm is on the link.
    Major Major alarm is on the link.
    Minor Minor alarm is on the link. 
    Normal Link is operating normally.
    Selected Link is selected.
    Example Description
    Solid Line vs. Dashed Line
    Solid line—Physical, topological, or service link, 
    such as a link between two devices.
    Dashed line—Association or business link 
    between such elements as EVCs, VPLS service 
    instances, or VPN components. 
    Link Widths
    Normal—Contains links of the same group. 
    Available groups are: 
    Business
    GRE
    MPLS-TP
    Pseudowire
    VLAN
    All others
    Wide—Aggregated links that contain links of 
    different groups. 
    When viewing a map at a low zoom level, 
    aggregated links cannot be distinguished in the 
    client.
    Tunnel—The center color represents the severity 
    of any alarms on the link.

    the direction of the arrowhead.
