switch.

Usage Guidelines Enter this command on any command-capable switch that is not part of any cluster. This command fails

You must name the cluster when you enable the cluster command switch. If the switch is already
configured as the cluster command switch, this command changes the cluster name if it is different from
the previous cluster name.

command switch member number to 4.
