Chapter 1 Clustering Switches
Using SNMP to Manage Switch Clusters
Catalyst 1900 and Catalyst 2820 CLI Considerations
If your switch cluster has Catalyst 1900 and Catalyst 2820 switches running standard edition software,
the Telnet session accesses the management console (a menu-driven interface) if the cluster command
switch is at privilege level 15. If the cluster command switch is at privilege level 1 to 14, you are
prompted for the password to access the menu console.
Command-switch privilege levels map to the Catalyst 1900 and Catalyst 2820 cluster member switches
running standard and Enterprise Edition Software as follows:
•
If the command-switch privilege level is 1 to 14, the cluster member switch is accessed at privilege
level 1.
•
If the command-switch privilege level is 15, the cluster member switch is accessed at privilege
level 15.
Note
The Catalyst 1900 and Catalyst 2820 CLI is available only on switches running Enterprise
Edition Software.
For more information about the Catalyst 1900 and Catalyst 2820 switches, see the installation and
configuration guides for those switches.
Using SNMP to Manage Switch Clusters
When you first power on the switch, SNMP is enabled if you enter the IP information by using the setup
program and accept its proposed configuration. If you did not use the setup program to enter the IP
information and SNMP was not enabled, you can enable it as described in the
. On Catalyst 1900 and Catalyst 2820 switches, SNMP is enabled by default.
When you create a cluster, the cluster command switch manages the exchange of messages between
cluster member switches and an SNMP application. The cluster software on the cluster command switch
appends the cluster member switch number (
@esN
, where
N
is the switch number) to the first configured
read-write and read-only community strings on the cluster command switch and propagates them to the
cluster member switch. The cluster command switch uses this community string to control the
forwarding of gets, sets, and get-next messages between the SNMP management station and the cluster
member switches.
Note
When a cluster standby group is configured, the cluster command switch can change without your
knowledge. Use the first read-write and read-only community strings to communicate with the cluster
command switch if there is a cluster standby group configured for the cluster.
If the cluster member switch does not have an IP address, the cluster command switch redirects traps
from the cluster member switch to the management station, as shown in
. If a cluster member
switch has its own IP address and community strings, the cluster member switch can send traps directly
to the management station, without going through the cluster command switch.
If a cluster member switch has its own IP address and community strings, they can be used in addition
to the access provided by the cluster command switch. For more information about SNMP and
community strings, see
