# Switch stack information management

Use the information in the following sections to display and edit switch stack information.

## Viewing stack information

Use this procedure to display information about the operating status of stack switches.

### Procedure

1. From the navigation tree, double-click Edit.
2. In the Edit tree, double-click Chassis.
3. In the Chassis tree, click Switch/Stack.
4. In the work area, click the Stack Info tab.

### Stack Info field descriptions

The following table outlines the parameters for the Stack Info tab.

Name | Description
--- | ---
Indx | Indicates the line number for stack info. This is a read-only cell.
Descr | Describes the component or subcomponent. If not available, the value is a zero length string. This is a read-only cell.
Location | Indicates the geographic location of a component in a system modeled as a chassis, but possibly physically implemented with geographically separate devices connected to exchange management information. Chassis modeled in this manner are sometimes referred to as virtual chassis. An example value is: 4th flr wiring closet in blg A. Important This field applies only to components that are in either the Board or Unit groups. If the information is unavailable, for example, the chassis is not modeling a virtual chassis or component is not in a Board or Unit group, the value is a zero-length string. If this field is applicable and is not assigned a value through a SNMP SET PDU when the row is created, the value defaults to the value of the object s5ChasComSerNum.
LstChng | Indicates the value of sysUpTime when it was detected that the component or sub-component was added to the chassis. If this action has not occurred since the cold or warm start of the agent, the value is zero.
AdminState | Specifies the state of the component or subcomponent. enable: enables operation reset: resets component
OperState | Indicates the current operational state of the component. The possible values are other: another state notAvail: state not available removed: component removed disabled: operation disabled normal: normal operation resetInProg: reset in progress testing: performing a self test warning: operating at warning level nonFatalErr: operating at error level fatalErr: error stopped operation
Ver | Indicates the version number of the component or subcomponent. If not available, the value is a zero-length string.
SerNum | Indicates the serial number of the component or subcomponent. If not available, the value is a zero-length string.
BaseNumPorts | Indicates the number of base ports of the component or subcomponent.
TotalNumPorts | Indicates the number of ports of the component or subcomponent.
IpAddress | Indicates the IP address of the component or subcomponent.
RunningSoftwareVer | Indicates the software version running on the switch.

## Editing stack information

Use this procedure to change the information about the switch units in the stack.

### Procedure

1. From the navigation tree, double-click Edit.
2. In the Edit tree, double-click Chassis.
3. In the Chassis tree, click Switch/Stack.
4. In the work area, click the Stack info tab.
5. To select a switch unit for which to edit information, click a switch row.
6. In the row, double-click the cell in the Location column.
7. Type a location.
8. In the row, double-click the cell in the AdminState column.
9. Select a value from the list.
10. On the toolbar, click Apply.
