2.7 After a Switch or Stack is Contacted
2.7.1 Commands
When FORE Stack View contacts a switch, the basic commands are supplemented with:
• Local Management access — Provides Telnet access to monitoring functions
embedded in the switch.
• RMON facility — Gathers information about the network traffic, monitors traffic
on subnets and enables you to define alarms on the individual ports.
• Stack Synchronization Manager (for stacks only) — Enables you to establish a
stack from a group of switches connected via a Matrix Module, or add a switch to
an existing stack and then synchronize their configurations.
• Switch Position Organizer (for stacks only) — Enables you to move the switches
displayed on screen around in the stack.
• Color Code Matrix Ports (for stacks only) — Colors the individual ports on the
Matrix Module. This simplifies the task of tracing cables, as the ports on the Stack
Interface Modules become the same color as the corresponding Matrix Module
port.
• A color coding chart for FORE Stack View to show the states of switch’s LEDs
