it can belong to. For more information about these modes, see the

Topology View

The Topology view displays how the devices within a switch cluster are connected and how the switch
cluster is connected to other clusters and devices. From this view, you can add and remove cluster
members. This view provides two levels of detail of the network topology:
•
•
The Topology view displays only the switch cluster and network neighborhood of the specific command

switch or member switch of that cluster.
You can arrange the device icons in this view. To move a device icon, click and drag the icon. To select

When you right-click a cluster icon and select Expand Cluster, the Topology view displays the
switch cluster in detail. This view shows the command switch and member switches in a cluster. It
also shows candidate switches that can join the cluster. This view does not display the details of any
neighboring switch clusters
When you right-click a command-switch icon and select Collapse Cluster, the cluster is collapsed
and represented by a single icon. The view shows how the cluster is connected to other clusters,
candidate switches, and devices that are not eligible to join the cluster (such as routers, access
points, IP phones, and so on)
Press the left mouse button, drag the pointer over the group of device icons that you want to select,
