Chapter 5 Clustering Switches
Using SNMP to Manage Switch Clusters
If the cluster member switch does not have an IP address, the cluster command switch redirects traps
from the cluster member switch to the management station, as shown in Figure 5-7. If a cluster member
switch has its own IP address and community strings, the cluster member switch can send traps directly
to the management station, without going through the cluster command switch.
If a cluster member switch has its own IP address and community strings, they can be used in addition
to the access provided by the cluster command switch. For more information about SNMP and
community strings, see Chapter 29, "Configuring SNMP."
