Maps Question - Interface Details

Question

This is probably an easy one. I have map of a site, with the core switch in the middle and devices around the outside.

I want to show the links between the devices and the core switch, and I want the port label to be shown on the on the interface. By default the topology is show with utilisation. I can add the switch port to the map, in-between the switch and the end device - but this will soon get cluttered.

Has anyone got any examples, or better ways to display the port info? Basically I want someone to easily look at the map, and see a device that might be "down" and know what port that device is connect into on the switch.

Thanks

@lufffunk is it possible to share a screenshot of your map? Currently Orion Maps will represent a single connection between two entities. If there are multiple connections between these entities the specific interface information is available when you interact with the map via the inspector panel. What is visible on the map is going to be whichever connection is in the worst state.

Now you could potentially add text boxes and add the interface labels on either side of the connection if desired, or as mentioned above, add the individual interfaces themselves similar to what I am representing below.
