stack view to find the switch number for the North Sea switch:

To access the North Sea console, execute the following Telnet command:

HP Switch(config)#: telnet 3

You see the CLI prompt for the North Sea switch, allowing you to configure or monitor the switch

as if you were directly connected to the console.

(Commander Menu)

After a Candidate becomes a stack Member, you can use that stack's Commander to access the

Member's console interface for the same configuration and monitoring that you would do through

a Telnet or direct-connect access.

Use the down arrow key to select the stack Member you want to access, then press X (for
