Chapter 4 Clustering Switches

Discovery Through Different VLANs

If the cluster command switch is a Layer 3 switch, such as a Catalyst 3750 or 3560 switch, the cluster
can have cluster member switches in different VLANs. As cluster member switches, they must be
connected through at least one VLAN in common with the cluster command switch. The cluster
command switch in
switches in those VLANs. It does not discover the switch in VLAN 50. It also does not discover the
switch in VLAN 16 in the first column because the cluster command switch has no VLAN connectivity
to it.
Layer 2 cluster member switches, such as the Catalyst 2360 switch, must be connected to the cluster
command switch through their management VLAN. For information about discovery through
management VLANs, see the

Discovery Through Different Management VLANs

Cluster command switches can discover and manage cluster member switches in different VLANs and
different management VLANs. As cluster member switches, they must be connected through at least one
VLAN in common with the cluster command switch. They do not need to be connected to the cluster
command switch through their management VLAN. The default management VLAN is VLAN 1.
If the switch cluster has a Catalyst 3750 switch or switch stack, that switch or switch stack must be the
