- additional data about the underlying topology
- a "display underlying topology" button
- pressing the button would launch a pop-up window, with the topology of the underlying network displayed**
- augment the detail panel when a "big-switch" device was selected, showing:
** This is where the auxiliary connection to the subordinate cluster would come in, to retrieve the "model" data.
