Usage Guidelines Enter this command only on the cluster command switch to add a candidate to or remove a member from
the cluster. If you enter this command on a switch other than the cluster command switch, the switch
rejects the command and displays an error message.
You must enter a member number to remove a switch from the cluster. However, you do not need to
enter a member number to add a switch to the cluster. The cluster command switch selects the next
available member number and assigns it to the switch that is joining the cluster.
You must enter the enable password of the candidate switch for authentication when it joins the cluster.
The password is not saved in the running or startup configuration. After a candidate switch becomes a
member of the cluster, its password becomes the same as the cluster command-switch password.
If a switch does not have a configured hostname, the cluster command switch appends a member number
to the cluster command-switch hostname and assigns it to the cluster member switch.
If you do not specify a VLAN ID, the cluster command switch automatically chooses a VLAN and adds
the candidate to the cluster.
