Switch Cluster Commands 4

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 only 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)#

cluster ip-pool

This command sets the cluster IP address pool. Use the no form to reset to the default address.

Syntax

cluster ip-pool <ip-address>no cluster ip-pool

ip-address- The base IP address for IP addresses assigned to cluster Members. The IP address must start 10.x.x.x.

Default Setting

Command Mode

Global Configuration

Command Usage

An “internal” IP address pool is used to assign IP addresses to Member switches in the cluster. Internal cluster IP addresses are in the form

10.x.x.member-ID. Only the base IP address of the pool needs to be set since Member IDs can only be between 1 and 16.
