To switch the console connection physically to the MSFC on the active supervisor engine, use the switch
console command.
switch console [mNo]
Syntax Description
Defaults The default is supervisor engine console.
Command Types Switch command.
Command Modes Privileged.
Usage Guidelines This command is not supported on Telnet sessions.
The switch console command allows you to change to the MSFC that shares the slot with the active
supervisor engine. To use this command, it is necessary to have active and redundant supervisor engine
consoles. Otherwise, you cannot use the switch console command to switch to the console of the MSFC
placed in the redundant supervisor engine slot.
If you place the MSFC on a supervisor engine installed in slot 1, the MSFC is recognized as module 15.
If you install the supervisor engine in slot 2, the MSFC is recognized as module 16. If the optional
argument mNo is excluded, the console will switch to MSFC on the active supervisor engine.
To exit from the router CLI back to the switch CLI, press Ctrl-C three times at the Router> prompt.
Examples This example shows how to switch the console connection to the MSFC on the active supervisor engine:
Console> (enable) switch console 15
