Displaying Graphs for a Stack
The switch management application recognizes switches as a stack if they are 
connected by their high speed stacking ports (10-Gbps switches only). The switch 
management application will auto-detect such switches connected by their 
10-Gbps ports and will display these stacked switches as a single stack entity in 
the topology and faceplate displays.
Graphs can be displayed for all ports on all switches in a stack or for only those 
ports on all switches that are logged in. To display graphs for stacks, do the 
following:
1.
In the left-pane/fabric tree, right-click on a Stack icon.
2.
In the popup menu, select Open Graph For All Ports on Stack or Open 
Graph For All Logged-In Ports on Stack
