IP Cluster Commands 4

Command Usage

To create a switch cluster, first be sure that clustering is enabled on the switch (the default is enabled), then set the switch as a Cluster Commander. Set a Cluster IP Pool that does not conflict with any other IP subnets in the network. Cluster IP addresses are assigned to switches when they become Members and are used for communication between Member switches and the Commander.

Switch clusters are limited to a single IP subnet (Layer 2 domain).

A switch can only be a Member of one cluster.

Configured switch clusters are maintained across power resets and network changes.

Example

Console(config)#cluster

Console(config)#

cluster commander

This command enables the switch as a cluster Commander. Use the no form to disable the switch as cluster Commander.

Syntax

[no] cluster commander

Default Setting

Disabled

Command Mode

Global Configuration

Command Usage

Once a switch has been configured to be a cluster Commander, it automatically discovers other cluster-enabled switches in the network. These “Candidate” switches only become cluster Members when manually selected by the administrator through the management station.

Cluster Member switches can be managed through using a Telnet connection to the Commander. From the Commander CLI prompt, use the rcommand id command to connect to the Member switch.

Example

Console(config)#cluster commander

Console(config)#
