Right mouse button commands for a switch in a stack

Functions

Description

Port Overview

Provides port performance, packet distri-

 

bution and spanning tree information for

 

all the ports in the stack.

 

 

Device

Enables you to reboot the stack and pro-

 

vides information about the firmware in

 

the switches.

 

 

Configuration

Ensures the stack’s configuration is safe

 

by saving it to the flash memory, by back-

 

ing up to disk and by being able to restore

 

it again should it be lost. If necessary, the

 

stack can be returned to the factory default

 

configuration.

 

 

Monitoring

Provides Hardware information about the

 

separate switches in the stacks and the

 

access rights to the devices on the LAN.

 

 

Tools

Gives access to the Synchronization Man-

 

age, the Switch Position Organizer and

 

Color Code Matrix Ports function.
