Network Atlas help

Maybe I am just not grasping nesting or this isn't possible....

 

We have a large network and I have a geography map of our city. I dragged a picture of the router on the map and then the switch and drew a link between them and selected the proper interfaces. I have child status checked.

How do I drag the switch so it's hidden under the router. It's going to be too much for the map to handle if it has to show the switch/router of every site for one department even.

two things...
First, to nest, you need 2 maps.  call one router map and the other switch map.
on the router map, you'd have the router object and the object SWITCH MAP (actually use the map as the object mapping to). 
On the switch map, you would have the object switch itself.

Second, when you nest maps, the system has to update all nested objects as well as top map objects to ensure the status is correct for all objects...this is what allows issues to propagate up to top maps from nested ones.  I ran into huge issues upgrading to 9.5 and had to break out my maps into smaller ones and put in frames so the updated at different times and would propagate fairly quickly.

Hope that clarifies and makes sense
