Figure 9: Console Session Redirection
If the master becomes unavailable, the console session is disconnected from the old
master and a new session is established with the newly elected master.
An out-of-band management Ethernet port is often referred to simply as a management
Ethernet port. It uses a dedicated management channel for device maintenance and
allows a system administrator to monitor and manage the switch by remote control.
The Virtual Chassis configuration can be managed remotely through SSH or Telnet using
a global management interface called the virtual management Ethernet (VME) interface.
The VME interface is a logical interface representing any and all of the out-of-band
management ports on the member switches. When you connect to the Virtual Chassis
configuration using the VME interface's IP address, the connection is redirected to the
master member as shown in Figure 10 on page 901.
