Disabled will render all SIM functions on the Switch inoperable. Role State Use the pull-down menu to change the SIM role of the Switch. The two choices are: • Candidate - A Candidate Switch (CaS) is not the member of a SIM group but is connected to a Commander Switch. This is the default setting for the SIM role. • Commander - Choosing this parameter will make the Switch a Commander Switch (CS). The user may join other switches to this Switch, over Ethernet, to be part of its SIM group. Choosing this option will also enable the Switch to be configured for SIM. Discovery Interval The user may set the discovery protocol interval, in seconds that the Switch will send out discovery packets. Returning information to a Commander Switch will include information about other switches connected to it. (Ex. MS, CaS). The user may set the Discovery Interval from 30 to 90 seconds. Holdtime This parameter may be set for the time, in seconds the Switch will hold information sent to it from other switches, utilizing the Discovery Interval. The user may set the hold time from 100 to 255 seconds. Click Apply to implement the settings changed. After enabling the Switch to be a Commander Switch (CS), the Single IP Management folder will then contain three added links to aid the user in configuring SIM through the web, including Topology, Firmware Upgrade and Configuration Backup/Restore. 309
