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
