Telnet session and to execute commands on a cluster member switch from the cluster command switch
or the switch stack. To end the session, enter the exit command.

Usage Guidelines
This command is available only on the cluster command switch stack or cluster command switch.
If the switch is the cluster command switch but the cluster member switch n does not exist, an error
message appears. To get the switch number, enter the show cluster members privileged EXEC
command on the cluster command switch.
You can use this command to access a cluster member switch from the cluster command-switch prompt
or to access a cluster command switch from the member-switch prompt.
For Catalyst 2940, 2950, 2960, 2970, 3550, 3560, 3560-E, 3750, and 3750-E switches, the Telnet session
accesses the member-switch command-line interface (CLI) at the same privilege level as on the cluster
command switch. For example, if you execute this command at user level on the cluster command
switch, the cluster member switch is accessed at user level. If you use this command on the cluster
command switch at privileged level, the command accesses the remote device at privileged level. If you
use an intermediate enable-level lower than privileged, access to the cluster member switch is at user
level.
For Catalyst 1900 and 2820 switches running standard edition software, the Telnet session accesses the
menu console (the menu-driven interface) if the cluster command switch is at privilege level 15. If the
cluster command switch is at privilege level 1, you are prompted for the password before being able to
access the menu console. Cluster command switch privilege levels map to the cluster member switches
running standard edition software as follows:
