Viewing interfaces for a managed router

Using Network Visibility (within Control Center), you can view the WAN- and LAN-side interfaces for a managed router on a Lumen network service. While viewing interfaces for a managed router, you can view utilization metrics for each interface. You can also use Network Visibility to view utilization metrics for services.

To view interfaces for a managed router:

Click Monitoring, then click Network Visibility.

Control Center opens the Network Visibility dashboard. On the map, Control Center shows locations with services needing your attention. Tiles show services with high utilization or critical issues, services that are down or have threshold warnings, as well as open tickets and scheduled maintenance for your services. Use the Map View, List View, Backbone Performance, and Summary Reports tabs above the tiles to toggle between views.

Search for the service you want to work with:
- From the List View tab, do any of the following:
  
  Use the Locations tab to scroll through the list of locations or search for a location with the service you want to work with, click the hyperlink in the Location Address column for the location, then click a service in the left panel for the location.
  
  Use the Services tab to scroll through the list of services or search for a service, then click the hyperlink in the Service ID or SCID column for the service.
  
  Use the Select All Products list to see locations with that product or services matching that product type.
  
  Filter the list by click the icon, then using any of the filters that appear. You can filter by service ID, product, device, location address, location name, VPN ID, whether a service is eligible for Dynamic Capacity, or service component ID (SCID).

  Select a location on the map, then click a service in the left panel for the location.
