NPM Network Topology Interfaces and Port-Channels

Question

I have looked around the forums but haven't found this specific post so I though I would ask.

First off, I like the direction that NPM is moving toward.  Great new features in 10.4.  There can be improvements sure,  but it's really starting to move in a direction that will help me out a lot.

Is there any plans for the NPM Network Topology to show the port channels and interfaces within them?  Maybe instead of showing an individual link, show the Port-channel,  then when you hover over the port-channel it shows all physical interfaces within the port-channel between the two devices?

This would be of great help instead of having to go to the equipment to use cdp neighbors.  This would also save me a lot of time when using the ConnectNow feature within the Atlas.

We are primarily a Cisco shop using 1841, ASA, WLC, Nexus, 3750's and 2960's...

Thanks

Why not create a feature request and link it back to this discussion.  I'd vote for it.

I agree.  I've asked for this feature in the past as well.  I like the idea of having an "expandable" (a + in front) interface view for the port-channel.  I see the port-channel on the main view, but can expand (click the +) the port-channel to see the individual interfaces; similar to the way the VM tab/Vitualization Assets resource is designed.
