• Orphan Summits are any Summit switches that do not appear to be components of
any VC stack. They do not appear to have any port connections to a Virtual Chassis.
A Summit switch can be classified as an orphan because:
— The Enterprise Manager cannot determine the stack to which it belongs.
— It was added using the Inventory Manager after the most recent identification
was completed.
— It does not have any VC connections.
Five buttons are provided at the top of the Virtual Chassis Stack Manager page. These
are, from left to right:
• Create—Lets you create a Virtual Chassis Stack.
• Delete—Lets you delete a Virtual Chassis Stack.
• Edit—Lets you add ports to and remove ports from a Virtual Chassis Stack.
• Configure—Lets you configure the Gigabit Ethernet ports on a switch to be
SummitLink ports, and to participate in load sharing.
• Identify— Identifies all the Virtual Chassis stacks that the ExtremeWare Enterprise
Manager can recognize.
You must have Administrator or Manager access to use these functions.

You can display a graphical representation of a VC stack by selecting the stack in the
Component Tree. Figure 9-2 shows the components of the VC stack named "Simple
Stack." It displays all the VCs and Summit switches in the stack, as known to the
ExtremeWare Enterprise Manager database, and the ports that interconnect the VCs and
switches.
When you invoke the Virtual Stack Manager applet for the first time, all the Summit
switches in the Enterprise Manager database are listed as orphans, and no Virtual
Chassis are displayed. You must identify the VC stacks before you can display them.
See "Identifying the Virtual Chassis Stack Topology" for details.
