Management Access on S-Series 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.

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 may stack up to six S4820T systems.
• The S4820T cannot be stacked with other system types.
