cluster commander

This command enables the switch as a cluster Commander. Use the no form to
disable the switch as cluster Commander.
Syntax

Default Setting
Disabled
Command Mode
Global Configuration
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 only using 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 commander
Console(config)#

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.

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 16.
