management port to the PC as shown in

All the Ethernet management ports on the stack members in the same enclosure are connected to the
Chassis Management Module. However, only the Ethernet management port for the stack master is
enabled. The active link is from the Ethernet management port on the stack master through the Chassis
Management Module to the PC. If the stack master fails and a new stack master is elected, the active link
is now from the Ethernet management port on the new stack master through the Chassis Management
Module to the PC. In a stack that has members in multiple enclosures, the PC must be connected to the
Chassis Management Module of the enclosure with the stack master. The PC should also be able to
access the all of the enclosure OAs.
