Accessing an MDC

A non-default MDC operates in the same way as 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.
