of the stack. The network administrator can use the connect command to
access the master unit serial port when presented with a “CLI unavailable
message” due to a master switchover.
Syntax
connect unit
• unit — A unit number in the stack.
Default Configuration
There is no default configuration for this command.
Command Modes
Privileged EXEC mode on stack master.
At Unit Prompt on stack member.
User Guidelines
This command is available from the Unit prompt on a member unit serial
port. The user need not be currently connected over the serial port to connect
to another unit.
The stack member being connected to must be up and running and
connected as part of the stack. This command effectively "steals" the serial
console from the target stack member. There is only one console session
allowed per stack. The "stolen" console session is not restarted and the
privilege level is not changed as a result of being "stolen." All security
mechanisms applicable to the serial port remain in place.
Example
Example 1:
To connect to a remote stack member from master.
Stack-Master#connect 2
Remote session started. Type "exit" to exit the session.
(Unit 2 - CLI unavailable - please connect to master on Unit 1)>
