Command Usage
• To create a switch cluster, first be sure that clustering is enabled on the switch
(the default is enabled), then set the switch as a Cluster Commander. Set a
Cluster IP Pool that does not conflict with any other IP subnets in the network.
Cluster IP addresses are assigned to switches when they become Members
and are used for communication between Member switches and the
Commander.
• Switch clusters are limited to the same Ethernet broadcast domain.
• There can be up to 100 candidates and 36 member switches in one cluster.
• A switch can only be a Member of one cluster.
• Configured switch clusters are maintained across power resets and network
changes.
Example
cluster commander
This command enables the switch as a cluster Commander. Use the
no
form to
disable the switch as cluster Commander.

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 through a Telnet connection to the
Commander. From the Commander CLI prompt, use the
rcommand id
command
to connect to the Member switch.
Example
Console(config)#cluster
Console(config)#
Console(config)#cluster commander
Console(config)#
