Abstract
A network management system includes a network interface communicatively coupled to one or more network elements in a network for exchanging Operations, Administration, Maintenance, and Provisioning (OAM&P) data; a processor communicatively coupled to the network interface; and memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to obtain the OAM&P data from the network, provide a Graphical User Interface (GUI) based on the network from the OAM&P data, wherein the GUI includes a network map which provides a topological view and a subway view which provides a detailed device-level view which is more granular than the network map and illustrates individual components at each site, receive a selection from a user of a service in the network, and update the GUI to highlight the service in the network map and illustrate the associated sites in the subway view.
