You can view and change information about the Switch units in the
stack or the stack as a whole using the commands on the System
menu. These commands allow you to:
Move the focus of the command line interface from one Switch unit
in the stack to another
Display configuration information about the current Switch unit in
the stack
Display summary information about the Switch units in the stack
Change the password for the current user
Enable and disable all forms of remote access to the stack
Reset the Switch units in the stack
Initialise the Switch units in the stack
Upgrade the management software of the Switch units in the stack
Many commands in the command line interface perform their actions
on a single Switch unit in the stack — the current Switch. You can
move the focus of the command line interface from one unit in the
stack to another using the unit command on the System menu.
To move the focus:
1 At the top level menu, enter:
system unit
The following prompt is displayed, allowing you to enter a unit
number:
Select unit [1]:
You can have up to four Switch units in a stack:
If the stack contains one unit, that unit is unit 1
If the stack contains two units connected using a Matrix Cable, the
first unit to be powered-up is unit 1 and the other unit is unit 2.
If the stack contains a number of units connected using a Matrix
Module, the unit containing the Module is unit 1 and the other unit
numbers are defined by the port connections on the Module.
2 Enter the number of the unit to be managed.
