rconsole

Establishes a remote console session with a stack unit.
Syntax
rconsole stack-unit
rconsole active
Command Default

A remote console session is not established with a stack member.

Parameters
stack-unit
Stack-unit ID of the remote device
active
Specifies the active controller
Modes

Privileged EXEC mode

Usage Guidelines

Member and standby controller stack units can use the rconsole command only to establish a remote connection to the active controller. By default, a stack unit's console is automatically redirected to the active controller's console. If the user has terminated the rconsole session on a stack member to place the unit in local console mode, the rconsole active command can be used to reconnect to the active controller console, The rconsole command must be followed by the keyword active when the target unit is the stack active controller. Attempting to use the unit ID of the active controller produces an error.

You can terminate a session in any of these ways:

  • Entering the exit command from the User EXEC level
  • Entering the logout command at any level

Examples

To establish an rconsole session, enter the rconsole command as shown:

device# rconsole 3

In the following example, a remote console session is established with stack unit 2.

device# rconsole 2
Connecting to unit 2... (Press Ctrl-O X to exit)
rconsole-2@device# show stack
