Usage
If you are logged into the active
supervisor, sup-local refers to the
active supervisor module and
sup-remote refers to the standby
supervisor module.
If you are logged into the standby
supervisor, sup-local refers to the
standby supervisor module (the one
you are logged into.) There is no
sup-remote available from the
standby supervisor module (you
cannot access a file system on the
active sup).
