Chapter 5 Clustering Switches
Understanding Switch Clusters
Cluster members are connected to the cluster command switch according to the connectivity
guidelines described in the
“Automatic Discovery of Cluster Candidates and Members” section on
. This section includes management VLAN considerations for the Catalyst 1900,
Catalyst 2820, Catalyst 2900 XL, Catalyst 2950, and Catalyst 3500 XL switches. For complete
information about these switches in a switch-cluster environment, refer to the software
configuration guide for that specific switch.
•
Command-switch redundancy if a cluster command switch fails. One or more switches can be
designated as
standby cluster command switches
to avoid loss of contact with cluster members. A
cluster standby group
is a group of standby cluster command switches.
•
Management of a variety of Catalyst switches through a single IP address. This conserves on IP
addresses, especially if you have a limited number of them. All communication with the switch
cluster is through the cluster command switch IP address.
lists the Catalyst switches eligible for switch clustering, including which ones can be cluster
command switches and which ones can only be cluster member switches, and the required software
versions.
Cluster Command Switch Characteristics
A cluster command switch must meet these requirements:
•
It is running Cisco IOS Release 12.2(44)SE or later.
•
It has an IP address.
•
It has Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) version 2 enabled (the default).
•
It is not a command or cluster member switch of another cluster.
•
It is connected to the standby cluster command switches through the management VLAN and to the
cluster member switches through a common VLAN.
