Remote 6770 Switch

The nodes connected directly to one switch see the other switches as remote switches. Although local and remote
switches are the same from a hardware standpoint, less information and no actions are available for the remote switch.
To perform actions or get additional information on a remote switch, establish a service connection from one of the
nodes that connects directly to that switch.
