Displaying Graphs for a Stack

The switch management application recognizes switches as a stack if they are connected by their high speed stacking ports (10-Gbps switches only). The switch management application will auto-detect such switches connected by their

10-Gbps ports and will display these stacked switches as a single stack entity in the topology and faceplate displays.

Graphs can be displayed for all ports on all switches in a stack or for only those ports on all switches that are logged in. To display graphs for stacks, do the following:

1.In the left-pane/fabric tree, right-click on a Stack icon.

2.In the popup menu, select Open Graph For All Ports on Stack or Open Graph For All Logged-In Ports on Stack.
