Hi;

"*" means your console is connected to Switch-1 which one is Active/Master switch in you stack. 

Thanks & Best regards;

hi,

it simply means it's the active/master switch of the stack.

since priority are both 1 (which is the default), the elected active switch is the one who got booted first.

to my knowledge, there's no show commands indicating where your console cable is connected.

you'll have to physically check which switch it's connected.
