telnet msm
telnet msm [a | b]
Description
Allows you to Telnet to either the primary or the backup MSM regardless of which console port you are
connected to.
Syntax Description
Default
N/A.
Usage Guidelines
Use this command to access either the primary or the backup MSM regardless of which console port
you are connected to. For example, if MSM A is the primary MSM and you are connected to MSM A via
its console port, you can access the backup MSM installed in slot B by issuing the
telnet msm b
command.
You must have a console connection to the MSM and Telnet must be enabled on the system to Telnet
into the other installed MSM.
If Telnet is disabled, the MSM you are attempting to access will time-out. For example, if you connect to
MSM A and attempt to Telnet to MSM B, MSM B will time-out.
If you have an active Telnet session to the other MSM and subsequently disable Telnet, that MSM
disconnects your session. For example, if you connect to MSM A, Telnet to MSM B, then from a
different connection to MSM A issue the
disable telnet
command, MSM B returns an error message
and disconnects your Telnet session.
Example
The following example makes the following assumptions:
●
Telnet is enabled on the system
●
The MSM installed in slot A is the primary
●
The MSM installed in slot B is the backup
●
You have a console connection to MSM B
The following command accesses the primary MSM installed in slot A from the backup MSM installed
in slot B:
telnet msm a
a
Specifies the MSM installed in slot A.
b
Specifies the MSM installed in slot B.
