After enabling the Switch to be a Commander Switch (CS), the Single IP Management folder will then contain four
added links to aid the user in configuring SIM through the web, including Topology, Firmware Upgrade,
Configuration Backup/Restore and Upload Log.

Topology

This window will be used to configure and manage the Switch within the SIM group and requires Java script to

Choosing this option will also enable the Switch to be configured for SIM.
Enter a Group Name in this textbox. This is optional. This name is used to segment
switches into different SIM groups.
The user may set the discovery protocol interval, in seconds that the Switch will send out
discovery packets. Returning information to a Commander Switch will include information
about other switches connected to it. (Ex. MS, CaS). The user may set the Discovery
Interval from 30 to 90 seconds. The default value is 30 seconds.
This parameter may be set for the time, in seconds; the Switch will hold information sent
to it from other switches, utilizing the Discovery Interval. The user may set the hold time
