Figure 50-6.  Adding a Standalone with a Lower MAC Address but Higher Priority to a Stack—After
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 stack manager only. Like 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 severely limited set of commands, 
as shown in Figure 50-7.
• Remote access: You may access the stack with SNMP, SSH, or Telnet through any enabled, Layer 3 
interface on any stack unit. There is no dedicated management port or management route table.
