topics are covered: Navigation and Information Panels and Knowing Your Location.
Navigation and Information Panels

configuration data. Information related to the hierarchy of data is displayed in the left-hand navigation panel,
while information related to a selected category is displayed in the information panel found on the right side of
the window.
Selecting a category in the navigation panel causes related
configuration and status information to be dynami-
