Front Panel View
Cluster Tree
The cluster tree (
Figure 3-3
) appears in the left frame of the Front Panel view and shows the name of the
cluster and a list of its members. The sequence of the cluster-tree icons (
Figure 3-4
) mirror the sequence
of the front-panel images. You can change the sequence by selecting View > Arrange Front Panel. The
colors of the devices in the cluster tree reflect the status of the devices (
Table 3-1
).
If you want to configure switch or cluster settings on one or more switches, select the appropriate
front-panel images.
•
To select a front-panel image, click either the cluster-tree icon or the corresponding front-panel
image. The front-panel image is then highlighted with a yellow outline.
•
To select multiple front-panel images, press the Ctrl key, and left-click the cluster-tree icons or the
front-panel images. To deselect an icon or image, press the Ctrl key, and left-click the icon or image.
If the cluster has many switches, you might need to scroll down the window to display the rest of
front-panel images. Instead of scrolling, you can click an icon in the cluster tree, and CMS then scrolls
and displays the corresponding front-panel image.
