Using the CLI to Manage Switch Clusters

LRE Profiles

A configuration conflict occurs if a switch cluster has Long-Reach Ethernet (LRE) switches that use both
private and public profiles. If one LRE switch in a cluster is assigned a public profile, all LRE switches
in that cluster must have that same public profile. Before you add an LRE switch to a cluster, make sure
that you assign it the same public profile used by other LRE switches in the cluster.
A cluster can have a mix of LRE switches that use different private profiles.
Using the CLI to Manage Switch Clusters
You can configure cluster member switches from the CLI by first logging into the cluster command
switch. Enter the rcommand user EXEC command and the cluster member switch number to start a
Telnet session (through a console or Telnet connection) and to access the cluster member switch CLI.
The command mode changes, and the Cisco IOS commands operate as usual. Enter the exit privileged
EXEC command on the cluster member switch to return to the command-switch CLI.
This example shows how to log into member-switch 3 from the command-switch CLI:
switch# rcommand 3
If you do not know the member-switch number, enter the show cluster members privileged EXEC
command on the cluster command switch. For more information about the rcommand command and all
other cluster commands, refer to the switch command reference.
The Telnet session accesses the member-switch CLI at the same privilege level as on the cluster
command switch. The Cisco IOS commands then operate as usual. For instructions on configuring the
switch for a Telnet session, see the

Catalyst 1900 and Catalyst 2820 CLI Considerations

If your switch cluster has Catalyst 1900 and Catalyst 2820 switches running standard edition software,
the Telnet session accesses the management console (a menu-driven interface) if the cluster command
switch is at privilege level 15. If the cluster command switch is at privilege level 1 to 14, you are
prompted for the password to access the menu console.
Command-switch privilege levels map to the Catalyst 1900 and Catalyst 2820 cluster member switches
running standard and Enterprise Edition Software as follows:

Note
For more information about the Catalyst 1900 and Catalyst 2820 switches, refer to the installation and
configuration guides for those switches.
Cisco IE 3000 Switch Software Configuration Guide
6-14
If the command-switch privilege level is 1 to 14, the cluster member switch is accessed at privilege
level 1.
If the command-switch privilege level is 15, the cluster member switch is accessed at privilege level
15.
The Catalyst 1900 and Catalyst 2820 CLI is available only on switches running Enterprise
Edition Software.
