VoIP topology maps contain VoIP objects along with their relationships and connections. In a map display, a node is a graphical representation of a topology object, and an edge is a graphical representation of a relationship or connection between objects.

Default nodes and edges for VoIP topology maps identifies and describes the default nodes and edges that may appear in a VoIP topology map. In the Map Console, you can also select Map > Map Legend to see a similar list.

Note that your system administrator may replace the default map nodes with other map nodes that are preferred by your organization. In that case, use Map > Map Legend to see the definitions of your map nodes.
