Managing Switch Stacks
SANsurfer Switch Manager recognizes switches as a stack if they are connected
by their high speed stacking ports. The switch management application will
auto-detect switches connected by their 10-Gbps ports and display these stacked
switches as a single stack entity in the topology and faceplate displays.
The graphic window (upper right pane of the faceplate display) displays one
faceplate image for each switch in the stack.
In the fabric tree (left pane of the faceplate display), the switches in each stack are
nested under the stack icon, which is nested under the fabric icon. Expanding the
fabric and stack icons in the fabric tree displays all switches in a stack. The lock
image on the fabric icon indicates that the application is communicating with the
fabric through a secure (Secure Sockets Layer) connection.
