Accessing the CLI on a Switch Stack

You can access the CLI through a console connection, through Telnet, a SSH, or by using the browser.
You manage the switch stack and the stack member interfaces through the . You cannot manage stack members
on an individual switch basis. You can connect to the through the console port or the Ethernet management
port of one or more stack members. Be careful with using multiple CLI sessions on the . Commands that you
enter in one session are not displayed in the other sessions. Therefore, it is possible to lose track of the session
from which you entered commands.
We recommend using one CLI session when managing the switch stack.
Note
If you want to configure a specific stack member port, you must include the stack member number in the CLI
command interface notation.
Accessing the CLI Through a Console Connection or Through Telnet
Before you can access the CLI, you must connect a terminal or a PC to the switch console or connect a PC to
the Ethernet management port and then power on the switch, as described in the hardware installation guide
that shipped with your switch.
If your switch is already configured, you can access the CLI through a local console connection or through a
remote Telnet session, but your switch must first be configured for this type of access.
You can use one of these methods to establish a connection with the switch:
• Connect the switch console port to a management station or dial-up modem, or connect the Ethernet
• Use any Telnet TCP/IP or encrypted Secure Shell (SSH) package from a remote management station.

management port to a PC. For information about connecting to the console or Ethernet management
port, see the switch hardware installation guide.
The switch must have network connectivity with the Telnet or SSH client, and the switch must have an
enable secret password configured.
