A non-default MDC operates as if it were a standalone device. From the system view of the default MDC,
you can log in to a non-default MDC and enter MDC system view. In MDC system view, you can assign
an IP address to the management Ethernet interface, or create a VLAN interface on the MDC and assign
an IP address to the interface. Then, administrators of the MDC can log in to the MDC by using Telnet or
SSH.
To return from an MDC to the default MDC, use the switchback or quit command.
