Using the remote CB console
As in traditional stacking, remote console capability in a Campus Fabric domain allows
the console from one unit to access the console of a second unit, for example, for
monitoring and debugging.
The
rconsole command allows for different types of remote access in a Campus Fabric domain:
- Monitor a PE unit from a standalone router or switch operating in regular mode.
- Access a PE unit console from a CB (core stack) member console.
- Access a CB member console from a PE unit console when the unit is in PE mode.
- Access the active controller of the CB from the console of another CB member.
- Access the active controller of the CB from a PE unit.
The following example is useful if the remote console connection with the CB has been broken.
In the following example, a CB member creates a remote connection with a PE unit.
