Virtual Stack
Function name:
Virtual Stack
Function description:
Virtual Stack Management (VSM) provides a simple centralized management function capable of
managing up to sixteen (16) switches. Through the proper configuration of the VSM function,
switches in the same LAN will be grouped automatically. One switch will be the master device, and
the others in the group will become the slave devices.
It is not necessary to remember the address of all the VSM devices; the manager is capable of
managing the network and all devices within the VSM stack.
VSM is only available using Web UI. With one switch functioning as the master, two rows of buttons
for the group devices will appear on the top of the Web UI. By pressing these buttons, users will be
allowed to connect to the Web UI of the devices of the group in the same window without the logging
into these devices.
The top-left button is only for the Master device (Figure 5.8). The background color of the button you
press will be changed to represent that the device is under your management.
Note: It will remove the grouping temporarily if you login the switch via the console.
