[c-nsp] 6509 noob question

[Adam Greene]

Well, guys, you did it. A 'show cdp nei det' yielded the following:

Platform: WS-C6509,  Capabilities: Trans-Bridge Switch
Interface: Vlan1,  Port ID (outgoing port): 15/1
Holdtime : 148 sec

Version :
WS-C6509 Software, Version McpSW: 8.3(3) NmpSW: 8.3(3)
Copyright (c) 1995-2004 by Cisco Systems

Included was the IP address, which I telnetted to, and I'm in! 

Much appreciated.

Adam

If you do a 'show cdp nei det', do you see an adjacent device on port
15/1?  If it's got a management address assigned, you'll see it there.
It is possible to get to a module in the 6500s using those loopback
addresses.  I believe the syntax is 127.0.0.(slot number, processor
number). Someone else might know better than I though.

How's this for a stupid question?

I'm working remotely on a pair of 6509's: CatOS 8.3(3) / IOS 12.1(8a)E3.

I can telnet to the devices and access the IOS CLI. 

The million-dollar question: how to I access the CatOS CLI?

As far as I can tell all the switch configs live in CatOS while the
routing configs live in IOS, and I'm trying to gain access to the
spanning-tree info (CatOS), to see if the switch is running PVST+, MST
or what.

Thanks,
Adam
