Management Access on Stacks
You can access the stack via the console port or VTY line.
● Console access — You may access the stack through the console port of the master unit (stack manager) only. Similar
to a standby RPM, the console port of the standby unit does not provide management capability; only a limited number of
commands are available. Member units provide a limited set of commands.
● Remote access — You may access the master unit and standby unit in a stack through the dedicated management
Ethernet interfaces with SNMP, SSH, or via Telnet.

You can connect two units with two or more stacking cables in case of a stacking port or cable failure. Removal of only one of
the cables does not trigger a reset.
