Example:
Device# show interfaces | include protocol
Vlan1 is up, line protocol is up
Vlan10 is up, line protocol is down
GigabitEthernet1/0/1 is up, line protocol is down
GigabitEthernet1/0/2 is up, line protocol is up

Accessing the CLI

You can access the CLI through a console connection, through Telnet, a SSH, or by using the browser.
You manage the switch stack and the stack member interfaces through the active switch. You cannot manage
stack members on an individual switch basis. You can connect to the active switch through the console port
or the Ethernet management port of one or more stack members. Be careful with using multiple CLI sessions
on the active switch. Commands that you enter in one session are not displayed in the other sessions. Therefore,
it is possible to lose track of the session from which you entered commands.
We recommend using one CLI session when managing the switch stack.
Note
If you want to configure a specific stack member port, you must include the stack member number in the CLI
command interface notation.
To debug the standby switch, use the session standby ios privileged EXEC command from the active switch
to access the IOS console of the standby switch. To debug a specific stack member, use the session switch
stack-member-number privileged EXEC command from the active switch to access the diagnostic shell of
the stack member. For more information about these commands, see the switch command reference.

Accessing the CLI Through a Console Connection or Through Telnet

Before you can access the CLI, you must connect a terminal or a PC to the device console or connect a PC to
the Ethernet management port and then power on the device, as described in the hardware installation guide
that shipped with your device.
If your device is already configured, you can access the CLI through a local console connection or through a
remote Telnet session, but your device must first be configured for this type of access.
You can use one of these methods to establish a connection with the device:
• Connect the device console port to a management station or dial-up modem, or connect the Ethernet
OL-32598-01
management port to a PC. For information about connecting to the console or Ethernet management
port, see the device hardware installation guide.
