Specifying the number of ports on a tiered switch
The rack console switch automatically discovers tiered switches, but you need to specify the number
of ports on the tiered switch through the Devices window. When a tiered switch is attached instead of
a server, the Type category displays an abbreviation of the switch type (for example Sw-8.) When a
tiered switch is selected from the list, the Modify button displays, enabling you to assign it the
appropriate number of ports.
NOTE: The Modify button is available only if a configurable switch is selected.
