C H A P T E R 5 Managing the Switch

Switch Position Organizer

Using the Switch Position This tool enables you to reposition the switches displayed on screen,

Organizerso they have the same relative position to each other as the physical switches in the stack. To reposition a switch:

1Select Tools>Switch Position Organizer.

2 Click the switch’s IP address.

3 Use the arrows to change the position of the IP address in the list.

4 To update the names of the individual switches to match the physical position view, check the Update individual switch names too.

5 Click OK. The switches in Device View now change position. The new order is stored in the switch, so the order is maintained regardless of where you manage them.

 

Color Code Matrix Ports

Purpose

Enabling this tool colors the individual ports on the Matrix Module.

 

This simplifies the task of tracing cables, as the ports on the Stack In-

 

terface Modules become the same color as the port they are connected

 

to on the Matrix Module.

Color Coding

Each Matrix port has a unique color:

 

• Port 1

– brown

 

• Port 2

– yellow
