monitoring, spanning tree protocol, VLAN, etc. The entire stack will appear as a single IBP.
You find a detailed description about Switch Stacking in the manual "PRIM- ERGY BX900 Blade Server Systems- Ethernet Connection Blade Module- IBP version (User`s Guide)", chapter 6.
VIOM supports uplink sets and networks on switch stacks. An uplink set can contain uplink ports from different IBPs in a stack. You can see stacks in the VIOM GUI on the Setup tab if you click on a stack member. Then all members of this stack are highlighted: the stack master is yellow shaded; all other members are green shaded. Beside this, Stack Master or Stack Member is shown in the details area.
To define, modify, or delete uplink sets and networks in a stack, select one stack member and start the desired operation. Details can be found in "Defin- ing network paths (LAN)" on page 277.
