Description
Network topology tree display should be made more tolerant:
- we should not require the the switch the server is connected to to have an IP belonging to
walt-netorwalt-adm - we could display several network sub-trees if some of the links are unknown
Users should be able to easily add a topology link manually, for maintenance purpose.

Research direction
Start by locating the Python code that builds and displays the network topology tree, then trace how switch IP validation and unknown links affect tree construction. Confirm the expected behavior for multiple disconnected sub-trees and manually added maintenance links before identifying the relevant tests or adding coverage for those cases.
