The required node number is then entered, followed by <CR> and the following message then appears:
“Connecting to node N. Please wait…”
If the connection is successful, the menu selection page of the chosen unit is then presented, as if logged
on locally. All menus appear as normal and any data edited and accepted will be stored in the logged
chassis. To return to the local unit, enter <CTRL>&<E> at any time. To configure or monitor a different
unit, return to the local unit (the only location at which the “REMOTE” menu option is provided) and enter
a different node I.D.
If the chosen unit cannot be reached due to, perhaps, a faulty or unconfigured aggregate route, the
following message is displayed:
“Failed to connect to node N. Press any key…”
After pressing a key, the main menu selection page is again displayed. The user can then inspect the local
menus to discover why the chosen remote could not be reached.
WARNING:
During the remote configuration process, it is of course possible to change settings which could result in
loss of carrier to that remote unit. Under these circumstances, unpredictable results may occur. Be
cautious when changing the configuration settings of any remote aggregate ports!
