Other Management Options
You can use SNMP management applications such as CiscoWorks Small Network Management
Solution (SNMS) to configure and manage the switch module. You also can manage it from an
SNMP-compatible workstation that is running platforms such as HP OpenView or SunNet Manager.
The Cisco IE2100 Series Configuration Registrar is a network management device that works with
embedded Cisco Networking Services (CNS) agents in the switch module software. You can use
IE2100 to automate initial configurations and configuration updates on the switch module.

7 Planning and Creating a Switch Stack (Only the Cisco
Catalyst Blade Switch 3120 for HP)
A switch stack is a set of up to nine stacking-capable switch modules that are connected through their
StackWise Plus ports. One of the switches controls the operation of the stack and is called the stack
master. The stack master and the other switches in the stack are stack members. Layer 2 and Layer 3
protocols present the entire switch stack as a single entity to the network. Stacking is optional.
