Cluster Standby-Group - Cisco Catalyst 3550 Command Reference Manual

cluster standby-group

cluster standby-group
Use the cluster standby-group global configuration command to enable command-switch redundancy
by binding the cluster to an existing Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP). Entering the
routing-redundancy keyword enables the same HSRP group to be used for command-switch redundancy
and routing redundancy. Use the no form of this command to return to the default setting.
Syntax Description
HSRP-group-name
routing-redundancy
Defaults
The cluster is not bound to any HSRP group.
Command Modes Global configuration
Command History Release
12.1(4)EA1
Usage Guidelines
You must enter this command only on the command switch. If you enter it on a member switch, an error
message appears.
The command switch propagates the cluster-HSRP binding information to all cluster-HSRP capable
members. Each member switch stores the binding information in its nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM).
The HSRP group name must be a valid standby group; otherwise, the command exits with an error.
The same group name should be used on all members of the HSRP standby group that is to be bound to
the cluster. The same HSRP group name should also be used on all cluster-HSRP capable members for
the HSRP group that is to be bound. (When not binding a cluster to an HSRP group, you can use different
names for the cluster commander and the members.)
Examples This example shows how to bind the HSRP group named my_hsrp to the cluster. This command is
executed on the command switch.
Switch(config)# cluster standby-group my_hsrp
This example shows how to use the same HSRP group named my_hsrp for routing redundancy and
cluster redundancy.
Switch(config)# cluster standby-group my_hsrp routing-redundancy
