Cluster Tree
The cluster tree (see Figure 3-2 for LRE switches and Figure 3-3 for non-LRE switches) 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 (see Figure 3-6) 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 show the status of the devices (see Table 3-1).
If you want to configure switch or cluster settings on one or more switches, select the appropriate
Front-Panel image.
• 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 the
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.
