Brocade FastIron Ethernet Switch Stacking Configuration Guide - Manual (Page 51)

NOTE
Error messages that are generated during a reload of the active controller will not appear on rconsole
connections from the stack units to the active controller. To see these error messages, you must
connect a console cable to the active controller itself.
To establish an rconsole session, enter the rconsole command as shown:
device# rconsole 1
Syntax: rconsole stack-unit
The following example shows how to establish rconsole sessions to stack members. Notice that the
show stack command on the stack members displays different information than what is shown when
the show stack command is entered on the active controller.
To see the status of your stack units, enter the show stack command on the active controller.
