Logging Into a Node From Another Node
You may log into any node in the active topology from any other node in
the same active topology. If you do not know the slot number of the node to which you want
to connect, enter the show slot command. You can Telnet to any switch that
appears in the show slot command display.
Note
If the node to which you want to connect does not
appear in the
show slot {slot {detail} | detail } command
display, you can connect to the node through the its console port or management port.
You have the most control over
the stack when you log in to the master.
-
Determine which node is the master using the command
show stacking.
-
Telnet to another node using the command telnet slot slot-number
.
The switches must be active in the stack for this
command to function.
-
When prompted, log in normally.
The telnet slot slot-number
command accepts a slot number in stacking mode. When the telnet program accepts a
connection from another node in the stack, it performs security validation. The master
node validates all login security information (except for the failsafe account),
regardless of the node into which you are attempting to establish a login. If you are not
able to log in using your user credentials, use the failsafe account to log
in.
