Connecting to a Remote Stack
If you are managing a stack locally (that is, through the RS232 port on
the master switch), you can connect to another stack through the
Omega interface and so be able to manage the remote stack, without
having to end your local session. To connect to a remote stack from a
local session, perform the following procedure:
1. From the Omega Main Menu, select Administration.
The Administrator menu is displayed.
2. Select Connect to remote system.
3. Specify the remote stack to be managed using one of the following
methods:
❑ Stack’s IP address, in the format x.x.x.x
❑ Master switch’s MAC address, in the format xxxxxx xxxxxx
The switch’s MAC address is printed above the switch’s RS232
management port on the front panel.
Once the information is validated and the connection to the
remote switch is opened, you immediately get the remote
switch’s Omega Main Menu. You can then use the Omega
program to configure or monitor the remote switch.
The only option not available on the remote stack is Connect to a
remote system from the Administration menu.
4. Select Quit from the Main Menu when you are finished managing the
remote stack.
After you have ended the session with the remote stack, your
Omega session with the local stack is reactivated.
Note
It is important that you select Quit after the Omega session.
Otherwise, you might block other sessions or software downloads
via the network to the remote stack.
