switches only become cluster Members when manually selected by the
administrator through the management station.
Note: Cluster Member switches can be managed either through a Telnet connection to
the Commander, or through a web management connection to the Commander.
When using a console connection, from the Commander CLI prompt, use the
rcommand (see page 4-83) to connect to the Member switch.

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 the same Ethernet broadcast domain.
• There can be up to 100 candidates and 36 member switches in one cluster.
• A switch can only be a Member of one cluster.
• Configured switch clusters are maintained across power resets and network
changes.
