Switch Clustering

C OMMAND U SAGE
◆ 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 a Telnet connection
to the Commander. From the Commander CLI prompt, use the
rcommand id command to connect to the Member switch.

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.

Global Configuration
C OMMAND U SAGE
◆ 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 36.
◆ Set a Cluster IP Pool that does not conflict with addresses in the
network IP subnet. Cluster IP addresses are assigned to switches when
they become Members and are used for communication between
Member switches and the Commander.
◆ You cannot change the cluster IP pool when the switch is currently in
Commander mode. Commander mode must first be disabled.
