Switch Overview
This page is a jump page which contains all of your switches that were added to the specific network you are viewing. From here, you can search for or otherwise select an particular switch. You can also see the connection state of each switch, both live and over the past 24 hours by viewing the connectivity bar.
This page also allows for you to modify, add or remove switches. For example you can select one or more switches. Then, from the action buttons at the top you can choose to add "Tags", clone, or move the selected switch(es) to another network.

Once you have selected a particular switch from the overview page (monitor >> switches), you will be presented with information and statistics of that particular switch.
