Chapter6 Clustering Switches Creating a Switch Cluster
Verifying a Switch Cluster
When you finish adding cluster members, follow these steps to verify the cluster:
Step 1 Enter the command switch IP address in the browser Location field (NetscapeCommunicator) or
Address field (Microsoft Internet Explorer) to access all switches in the cluster.
Step 2 Enter the command-switch password.
Step 3 Select View > Topology to display the cluster topology and to view link information (Figure 3-6 on
page 3-10). For complete information about the Topology view, including descriptions of the icons,
links, and colors, see the “Topology View” section on page3-9.
Step 4 Select Reports > Inventory to display an inventory of the switches in the cluster (Figure6-14).
The summary includes information such as switch model numbers, serial numbers, software versions, IP
information, and location.
You can also display port and switch statistics from Reports > Port Statistics and Port > Port Settings
> Runtime Status.
Instead of using CMS to verify the cluster, you can use the sho w cluster members user EXEC command
from the command switch or use the show cluster user EXEC command from the co mm an d sw it ch o r
from a member switch.

If you lose connectivity with a member switch or if a command switch fails, see the “Using Recovery
Procedures” section on page 27-1.

about the cluster commands, refer to the switch command reference.
