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.
