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-8000 Series switch. You can specify the switch by switch number
or by MAC address, both of which are displayed with “SHOW
REMOTELIST” on page 102.

Note

You must perform the ACCESS SWITCH command from a
management session of a master switch. 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 62.

Note

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

When you are finished managing a slave switch, use the LOGOFF,
LOGOUT, or QUIT commands 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 27.
