Add an option to tag links and to hide or show them as needed

Open 1001QAdotNET opened this issue 6 years ago • 2 comments

I work with complex topologies and I manage the devices by using their management interfaces, all of them connected to a switch that is connected to a cloud that facilitates the connection to the network where my orchestrator is. The image on the screen looks messy with all the connections and I would like to be able to hide the management links when needed and show them again when needed like with the interface labels

Can you please add that feature ? There is no way around this currently

hi, if it's really "urgent" you can hide layers via css for now my dirty fix is: add custom css file in the static folder and import it from index.html underneath css code hides layer -1 (temp unhide via browser development mode and just temporarily remove the css snippet)

.layer[data-index="-1"]{
  display: none
}

if i can find the time i well hack in something more elegant with a menu and some buttons and send in a pull request. i have not looked into the fat-client

This can be done in the GNS3 gui by changing the link style to invisible which will hide the unwanted links.

image As you can see in the image above I have 9 links connected to the switch only 3 visible the other 6 are hidden.
