Chapter 6      Clustering Switches

Planning a Switch Cluster

Discovery through Different Management VLANs

We recommend using a Catalyst 3550 command switch, a Catalyst 2955 command switch, a 
Catalyst 2950 LRE command switch, or a non-LRE Catalyst 2950 command switch running Cisco IOS 
Release 12.1(9)EA1 or later. These command switches can discover and manage member switches in 
different VLANs and different management VLANs. Catalyst 3550 member switches, Catalyst 2955 
member switches, Catalyst 2950 LRE member switches, and non-LRE Catalyst 2950 member switches 
running Cisco IOS Release 12.1(9)EA1 or later must be connected through at least one VLAN in 
common with the command switch. All other member switches must be connected to the command 
switch through their management VLAN.

In contrast, a Catalyst 2900 XL command switch, a non-LRE Catalyst 2950 command switch running a 
release earlier than Cisco IOS Release 12.1(9)EA1, or a Catalyst 3500 XL command switch must 
connect to all cluster members through its management VLAN. The default management VLAN is 
VLAN 1. For information about discovery through the same management VLAN on these switches, see 
the 

“Discovery through the Same Management VLAN” section on page 6-8

. 

The non-LRE Catalyst 2950 command switch running Cisco IOS Release 12.1(9)EA1 or later in 

Figure 6-5

 and the Catalyst 3550 command switch in 

Figure 6-6

 have ports assigned to VLANs 9, 16, 

and 62. The management VLAN on the Catalyst 2950 command switch is VLAN 9. Each command 
switch discovers the switches in the different management VLANs except these:

•

Switches 7 and 10 (switches in management VLAN 4) because they are not connected through a 
common VLAN (meaning VLANs 62 and 9) with the command switch

•

Switch 9 because automatic discovery does not extend beyond a noncandidate device, which is 
switch 7
