Using the Command-Line Interface
The Catalyst 3750-X and 3560-X switches are supported by Cisco IOS software. This chapter describes
how to use the switch command-line interface (CLI) to configure software features.
For a complete description of the commands that support these features, see Chapter 2, "Catalyst 3750-X
and 3560-X Switch Cisco IOS Commands." For information on the boot loader commands, see
Appendix A "Catalyst 3750-X and 3560-X Switch Boot Loader Commands." For information on the
debug commands, see Appendix B "Catalyst 3750-X and 3560-X Switch Debug Commands." For
information on the show platform commands, see Appendix C "Catalyst 3750-X and 3560-X Show
Platform Commands." For more information on Cisco IOS Release 12.2, see the Cisco IOS Release 12.2
Command Summary.
For task-oriented configuration steps, see the software configuration guide for this release.
In this document, IP refers to IP version 4 (IPv4) unless there is a specific reference to IP version 6
(IPv6).

Accessing the Switch

You manage the switch stack and the stack member interfaces through the stack master (such as a
Catalyst 3750-X switch). You cannot manage stack members on an individual switch basis. You can
connect to the stack master through the console port or Ethernet management port of one or more stack
members. You can connect to the stack master through the console port or Ethernet management port of
one or more stack members. Be careful with using multiple CLI sessions to the stack master. Commands
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. For more information about interface notations, see the "Configuring
Interfaces" chapter in the software configuration guide for this release.
To debug a specific stack member, you can access it from the stack master by using the session
stack-member-number privileged EXEC command. The stack member number is appended to the system
prompt. For example, is the prompt in privileged EXEC mode for stack member 2, and the
Switch-2#
system prompt for the stack master is . Only the show and debug commands are available in a
Switch
CLI session to a specific stack member.
