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.

From the Main Menu, select 9. Stacking... —> 5. Stack Access

You will then see the Stack Access screen.

The Stack Access screen

Use the down arrow key to select the stack Member you want to access, then press X (for eXecute) to display the console interface for the selected Member. For example, if you selected switch number 1 (system name: Coral Sea) in The Stack Access screen and then pressed X, you would see the Main Menu for the switch named Coral Sea.

The eXecute command Viewing the console Main Menu for the selected stack Member
Make configuration changes and view status data for the selected Member in the same way you would if you were directly connected to the switch.
When you finish accessing the selected Member, do the following to return to the Commander's Stack Access screen:
1. Return to the Member's Main Menu.
2. Press 0 (for Logout), then Y (for Yes).
3. Press Return.
You should now see the Commander's Stack Access screen. (For an example, see The Stack Access screen on The Commander’s Stacking Status screen.)
