Configuring Network Assistant in Community or Cluster Mode
We recommend that you configure the Catalyst 4500 candidate and cluster member switches with
an SVI on the VLAN connection to the cluster command switch.
Using the CLI to Manage Switch Clusters
You can configure cluster member switches from the CLI by first logging in to the cluster command
switch. Enter the
rcommand user EXEC command and the cluster member switch number to start a
Telnet session (through a console or Telnet connection) and to access the cluster member switch CLI.
The command mode changes and the Cisco IOS commands operate as usual. Enter the
exit privileged
EXEC command on the cluster member switch to return to the command-switch CLI.
This example shows how to log in to member-switch 3 from the command-switch CLI:
switch# rcommand 3
If you do not know the member-switch number, enter the show cluster members privileged EXEC
command on the cluster command switch. For more information about the rcommand command and all
other cluster commands, refer to the command reference guide.
The Telnet session accesses the member-switch CLI at the same privilege level as on the cluster
command switch. The Cisco IOS commands will operate as usual. For instructions on configuring the
switch for a Telnet session, see the
“Accessing the CLI Through Telnet” section on page 2-2 .
Note
CISCO-CLUSTER_MIB is not supported.
Configuring Network Assistant in Community or Cluster Mode
This section provides a detailed explanation of the CLI used to configure Network Assistant to work in
a community or cluster. Network Assistant communicates with a Catalyst 4500 series switch by sending
Cisco IOS commands over an HTTP (or HTTPS) connection.
This section includes the following topics:
