Management Access on Stacks
You can access the stack via the console port or VTY line.
• Console access — You may access the stack through the console port of the master unit (stack manager) only. Similar to a standby
RPM, the console port of the standby unit does not provide management capability; only a limited number of commands are available.
Member units provide a limited set of commands.
• Remote access — You may access the master unit and standby unit in a stack through the dedicated management Ethernet interfaces
with SNMP, SSH, or via Telnet.
Example of Accessing Non-Master Units on a Stack via the Console Port

Dell(standby)#
-----------------CONSOLE ACCESS ON A MEMBER----------------------------
Dell(stack-member-1)#?
reset-self Reset this unit alone
show Show running system information
You can connect two units with two or more stacking cables in case of a stacking port or cable failure. Removal of only one of the cables
does not trigger a reset.
Important Points to Remember
• You can stack up to six systems.
