Connectivity to the Switch Stack Through Console Ports
You can connect to the stack master by connecting a terminal or a PC to the stack master through the console
port of one or more stack members.
Be careful when using multiple CLI sessions to the stack master. Commands that you enter in one session are
not displayed in the other sessions. Therefore, it is possible that you might not be able to identify the session
from which you entered a command.
We recommend using only one CLI session when managing the switch stack.
