good day! can you tell me how to implement the display of the switch ports as shown in the figure? given the fact that there will be about 10 switches on the circuit, so that it works stably

There is no native way to implement that and on the image you've posted some workarounds are used. You also can see one interesting example in that post.

1. The easiest way is to add links between your switches and it can be done in the following way
+ --> Link --> Press on the 'Switch 1' and drag to the 'Switch 2'
Device: 'Switch 1' --> Mastering Type: snmp --> Interface: 'ether 1' --> Type: gigabit ethernet --> Finish
In that way you can draw links between your devices, but just one link per device pair.

2. To workaround limitation from the option one, you can add all your switch ports as a separate devices like on your screenshot
# Add 'port 1' as a separate device
+ --> Device --> Address: your 'Switch 1' IP --> Next --> Discover --> Leave just 'ping' probe --> Finish
Rename added device to the 'port 1' and change device Type to 'unknown'

# Add simple link between 'Switch 1' and it's 'port 1'
+ --> Link --> Press on the 'Switch 1' and drag to the 'port 1'
Device: 'Switch 1' --> Mastering Type: simple --> Type: gigabit ethernet --> Finish

# Add snmp link between 'port 1' and 'Switch 2'
+ --> Link --> Press on the 'port 1' and drag to the 'Switch 2'
Device: 'port 1' --> Mastering Type: snmp --> Type: gigabit ethernet --> Finish
