Using the CLI to Manage Switch Clusters

This section shows how to use the CLI to manage switch clusters.

Prerequisites

Configure Cisco EtherSwitch service modules or switches that are members of a cluster from the CLI by first logging in to the cluster command service module or switch.

SUMMARY STEPS

1.rcommand {n commander mac-address hw-addr}

2.show version

3.exit

4.show cluster members [n detail] [{begin exclude include} expression] (optional)

DETAILED STEPS

	Command or Action	Purpose
Step 1
	rcommand	Starts a Telnet session to execute commands on a cluster
		member service module or switch from the cluster
	Example:	command service module or switch or the switch stack.
		• To end the session, enter the exit command.
	Switch# rcommand 3
		• If you do not know the number of the member service
		module, enter the show cluster members privileged
		EXEC command on the cluster command service
		module. The Telnet session accesses the member
		service module CLI at the same privilege level as on the
		cluster command service module. The Cisco IOS
		commands then operate as usual.
Step 2
	show version	Displays version information for the hardware and firmware
		of the cluster member service module or cluster member
	Example:	switch.
	Switch-3# show version
