Management Access on Stacks

You can access the stack via the console port or VTY line.

  • Console access — You may access the stack through the console port of the master unit (stack manager) only. Similar to a standby RPM, the console port of the standby unit does not provide management capability; only a limited number of commands are available. Member units provide a limited set of commands.
  • Remote access — You may access the master unit and standby unit in a stack through the dedicated management Ethernet interfaces with SNMP, SSH, or via Telnet.
