rconsole { id | controller-bridge }
Command Default

By default, a stack member can use the rconsole command to connect to the console of the stack's active controller.

Parameters
id

controller-bridge
Designates the active controller (master unit) for the CB (core) stack.
Modes

CB device mode

Usage Guidelines

The command is available in the same modes as the show running-config command.

Use the rconsole id command on a CB unit to access the local console of the designated PE or CB unit. Use exit to terminate the connection.

A stack member or a PE member in an 802.1br CB can access the console of the stack's active controller using the rconsole controller-bridge command. Terminate the connection from a stack member to the active controller by pressing Control+Shift+x.

Terminate an rconsole connection between a CB unit and a PE by entering Control+o x.

Examples

The following example creates a remote connection from the local PE to the active controller of the CB. 

[PE]local-id@device# rconsole
  controller-bridge   Connect to the active controller bridge
[PE]local-id@device# rconsole controller-bridge
Connecting to control-bridge 3 console... (Press Ctrl-o x to exit)
