Section I: Basic Operations

ACCESS SWITCH

Syntax

access switch number=

number

|macaddress=

macaddress

Parameters

number

Specifies the number of the switch in an enhanced
stack that you want to manage. You view this number
using the SHOW REMOTELIST command.

macaddress

Specifies the MAC address of the switch you want to
manage. This can also be displayed using the SHOW
REMOTELIST command. You can enter the address
in either of the following formats:

xxxxxxxxxxxx or xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx

Description

This command starts a management session on another switch that
supports enhanced stacking, such as another AT-9400 Series switch or an
AT-8500 Series switch. You can specify the switch by switch number or by
MAC address, both of which are displayed with “SHOW REMOTELIST” on
page 76.

Note

You must perform the ACCESS SWITCH command from the
management session of the master switch where you started the
session. This command will not work from a management session of
a slave switch. To determine the master or slave status of your
switch, use “SHOW SWITCH” on page 66.

Note

You must perform the SHOW REMOTELIST command before the
ACCESS SWITCH command.

When you are finished managing a slave switch, use the LOGOFF,
LOGOUT, or QUIT command to end the management session and return
back to the master switch from which you started the management
session. For information, refer to “LOGOFF, LOGOUT and QUIT” on
page 39.
