[nsp] OOB-Access to Sup720

[Kinczli Zoltán]

hello,

 if i'm not mistaken the fact that the secondary sup's console is active or not
depends on the IOS version. I seem to recall, that in 12.1(11)E or something the
standby sup was completely dumb, but it became active around 12.1(12)E or so.

The console on the standby hybrid Sup just says nothing ... What Stacy
said makes me think to use two cables. OTOH I found it very handy just
to be able to do "ssh switchx.oob" without having to think about which
Sup720 is active.
