Creating a Cluster Standby Group
The cluster standby group members must meet the requirements described in the “Standby Command
Switch Characteristics” section on page6-3 a nd “HSRP and Standby Comma nd Switches” section on
page 6-13. To create a cluster standby group, select Cluster > Standby Command Switches
(Figure 6-13).
Instead of using CMS to add switches to a standby group and to bind the standby group to a cluster, you
can use the standby ip, the standby name, and the standby priority interface configuration commands
and the cluster standby group global configuration command.
Note • When the command switch is a Catalyst3550 switch, all standby command switches must be
Catalyst 3550 switches.
•When the command switch is a Catalyst2950 switch running Release 12.1(9)EA1 or later, all
standby command switches must be Catalyst 2950 switches running Release 12.1(9)EA1 or later.
•When the command switch is a Catalyst2950 switch running Release 12.1(6)EA2 or later, all
standby command switches must be Catalyst 2950 switches running Release 12.1(6)EA2 or l at er.
•When the command switch is running Release 12.0(5)WC2 or earlier, the standby command
switches can be these switches: Catalyst 2900 XL, Catalyst 2950, and Catalyst 3500XL switches.
