Configuring Supervisor Module Redundant
Ethernet Console IP Addresses
Using the Web
agent
If you need to communicate with both the Active and Standby
Supervisors, configure an alternate Ethernet Console IP address for
both. Configure an alternate IP address for both slot 1 and 2 CPU’s,
by using the Web Agent or the CLI.
* Note: Do not Login to a Standby Supervisor module to manage
the switch. The Standby Supervisor does not have
accurate switch status information until it becomes the
Active Supervisor.
Identifying the Active or Standby supervisor can be
accomplished by looking at the LED display (marquee),
or by opening the System>Configuration>CPU
Redundancy>Status/Statistics group from the web
agent, or by using the
show CPU status CLI
command.
