Yes, the serial cable connects directly to the switch. From a serial connection to the CMC, you can use the connect command to establish a session to switch.
I have a stack of Force 10 MXL switches in an M1000e chassis. I would like to confirm how to gain access via serial cable to these switches. I assume I use a normal 9 pin D-sub to D-sub cable to connect to the serial interface on the chassis controller? From there I assume I can use the "connect switch-n" exactly as I would when connected to the chassis management controller via SSH? Once connected using the "connect switch-n" command, how does one disconnect? The documentation here doesn't mention that step: [URL] Thanks!
