Abstract
A system and method for network element management includes a management window, a scroll buffer configured to store commands and responses, a console pane displayed in the management window and displaying a portion of the scroll buffer, and data structures. The system connects to a network element associated with network objects using a network, accept commands in the console pane, parse the commands, send the commands to the network element, receive and parse responses from the network element, update the data structures based on the commands and responses, create hot spots in the scroll buffer based on the commands and responses, spawn a GUI dialog based on a first network object associated with a first hot spot when the first hot spot is activated, and provide copies of first data structures selected from the data structures to the GUI dialog. The first data structures are associated with the first network object.
