Logging In to an IRF Stack
Logging In to the Master
After an IRF stack is formed, you can access the console of the stack system through the AUX or
console port of any member device. Configure an IP address for the VLAN interface of a member
device and make sure that the route is reachable, and then you can access the stack system remotely
through Telnet, Web, or SNMP.
When you log in to the stack, actually you log in to the master device of the stack. The master is the
configuration and control center of a stack. After you configure the stack on the master, the stack
system synchronizes the configurations to the slaves.
Logging In to a Slave
When you log in to a stack, actually you log in to the master device of the stack. The operation interface
of the access terminal displays the master console. However, the device can redirect you to a specified
slave device. After you are redirected to a slave device, the user access terminal displays the console of
the slave device instead of that of the master device. The system enters user view of the salve device
and the command prompt is changed to <Sysname-member ID>, for example, <Sysname-2>. What
you have input on the access terminal will be redirected to the specified slave device for processing. At
present, only the following commands are allowed to be executed on a slave device:
display
quit
return
system-view
debugging
terminal debugging
terminal trapping
terminal logging
You can press Ctrl+K or use the quit or return command to return to the master console. At this time,
the master console is reactivated, and therefore it can output system information and logs.
Follow the step below to log in to the specified slave device:
To do...
Log in to the specified slave
device of a stack
Because users' login to the stack system occupies large memory space, a stack system allows at most
six users to log in at the same time. The permitted login user types are console and virtual type terminal
(VTY).
Use the command...

Remarks
Required
By default, you actually log in to the
master device of a stack when you log
in to the stack.
