number of resets, power status, hardware and firmware version, and MAC

 

 

address. This screen also contains three user-configurable fields: sysContact,

 

 

sysName, and sysLocation. When the switch is part of a stack configuration, this

 

 

screen also displays the base unit identification, the number of units configured

 

 

in the stack, and the local unit stack number.

Appears only when the switch is participating in a stack configuration. When

 

 

selected, this option identifies the unit numbering of each unit in a stack

 

 

configuration by lighting the corresponding number of Link LEDs for

 

 

approximately 10 seconds. For example, in a four-unit stack, unit 1 displays one

 

 

Link LED, unit 2 displays two Link LEDs, unit 3 displays three Link LEDs, and

 

 

unit 4 displays four Link LEDs. The LED display temporarily overrides any

 

 

existing Link LED indications on all unit LED display panels.
