Note CMS from a standalone switch or from a noncommand switch is referred to as Device Manager (also
referred to as Switch Manager). Device Manager is for configuring an individual switch. When you
select Device Manager for a specific switch in the cluster, you launch a separate CMS session. The
Device Manager interface can vary between the Catalyst switch platforms.
When CMS is launched from a standalone or noncommand member switch, the Front Panel view
displays only the front panel of the specific switch, as shown in Figure 4-4.
