Accessing Member switches for configuring changes and monitoring traffic (Commander Menu)
After a Candidate becomes a stack Member, you can use that stack's Commander to access the Member's console interface for the same configuration and monitoring that you would do through a Telnet or direct-connect access.
Procedure
From the Main Menu, select
9. Stacking ⇒
5. Stack Access
The Stack Access screen is displayed.
Use the down-arrow key to select the stack Member to access, then press
X (for eXecute) to display the console interface for the selected Member. For example, if you select switch number 1 (system name:
Coral Sea) as shown in the preceding figure. Then press
X, the Main Menu for the switch named
Coral Sea appears, as shown in the following figure.
You can now make configuration changes and view status data for the selected Member in the same way that you would if you were directly connected or telnetted into the switch.
When you finish accessing the selected Member, do the following to return to the Commander's Stack Access screen:
Return to the Member's Main Menu.
Press
0 (for Logout), then
Y (for Yes).
Press
Return.
You should now see the commander's stack access screen (for examples, see two preceding figures).
