Accessing Member switches for configuration changes and traffic monitoring (CLI)
After a Candidate becomes a Member, you can use the Telnet command from the Commander to access the Member's CLI or console interface for the same configuration and monitoring you would do through a Telnet or direct-connect access from a terminal.
Syntax:
telnet <switch-number>
<switch-number>Specifies an unsigned integer assigned by the Commander to each member (range:
1 - 15).To find the switch number for the Member you want to access, execute the
show stack viewcommand in the Commander's CLI.
A stack showing switch number (SN) assignments
Suppose you want to configure a port trunk on
the switch named North Sea in the stack named Big_Waters.
To do so go to the CLI for the Big_Waters Commander
and execute show stack view to find the switch
number for the North Sea switch:
To access the North Sea console,
execute the following Telnet command:
switch(config)#: telnet 3
You see the CLI prompt for the North
Sea switch, allowing you to configure or monitor the switch
as if you were directly connected to the console.
