Chapter 1 Overview
Management Options
• Apply actions from CMS to multiple ports and multiple switches at the same
time to avoid re-entering the same commands for each individual port or
switch. Here are some examples of globally setting and managing multiple
ports and switches:
–
Port configuration such as speed and duplex settings
–
Port and console port security
–
NTP, STP, VLAN, and quality of service (QoS) configuration
–
Inventory and statistic reporting and link- and switch-level monitoring
and troubleshooting
–
Group software upgrade
• View a topology of interconnected devices to identify existing switch clusters
and eligible switches that can join a cluster. You can also use the topology to
quickly identify link information between switches.
• Monitor real-time status of a switch or multiple switches from the LEDs on
the front-panel images. The system, redundant power system (RPS), and port
LED colors on the images are similar to those used on the physical LEDs
themselves.

For more information about switch clusters, see Chapter 5, “Clustering
Switches.”
