Accessing a slave switch
When you log in to an IRF virtual device, actually you log in to the master. The operation interface of the
access terminal displays the master console. To print the logs or debugging information of a subordinate
switch, redirect to the specified subordinate switch. After that, the user access terminal displays the
console of the subordinate switch instead of that of the master. The system enters user view of the
subordinate switch and the command prompt is changed to <Sysname-Slave#X>, where X is the member
ID of the switch, for example, <Sysname-Slave#2>. What you have input on the access terminal is
redirected to the specified subordinate switch for processing. Execute the following commands on a
subordinate switch:
•
display
•
quit
•
return
•
system-view
•
debugging
•
terminal debugging
•
terminal trapping
•
terminal logging
To return to the master console, use the
quit
command. At that time, the master console is reactivated
and can output logs.
