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.

Figure 4-14. Switch Stacks

The stack dialogs are essentially the same as their corresponding switch dialogs, except for the Select Switch for Initial Configuration pull-down menu is added to each dialog. The stack dialogs display the information for the switch selected in the Select Switch for Initial Configuration pull-down menu. Choose another switch in the pull-down menu to display information for that switch. The switch configuration displayed is the configuration that will be applied to all other switches in the stack after you click the OK button. The following operations are available to configure the stack as a single entity:
