Abstract
A method of displaying hierarchical data. The method includes the steps of: retrieving hierarchical network data and displaying the hierarchical network data using a perspective three dimensional view. The hierarchical data includes a plurality of data elements. Each data element is associated with a network device. An apparatus for displaying hierarchical data is provided. The apparatus comprises a display device, a memory device storing the hierarchical data, and a processor responsive to the memory. The processor includes a graphical display module that displays the hierarchical network data using a perspective three dimensional view. The hierarchical data includes a plurality of data elements where each data element is associated with a network device;
