System Management Commands

Command Usage
• 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 only through a Telnet connection
to the Commander. From the Commander CLI prompt, use the rcommand id
command to connect to the Member switch.
Example
cluster ip-pool
This command sets the cluster IP address pool. Use the no form to reset to the
default address.
Syntax
cluster ip-pool <ip-address>
no cluster ip-pool
ip-address - The base IP address for IP addresses assigned to cluster
Members. The IP address must start 10.x.x.x.
Default Setting
10.254.254.1
Command Mode
Global Configuration
Command Usage
• 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.
Example
Console(config)#cluster commander
Console(config)#
Console(config)#cluster ip-pool 10.2.3.4
Console(config)#
