Using the CLI to Manage Switch Clusters

You can configure member switches from the CLI by first logging into the command switch. Enter the
rcommand user EXEC command and the member switch number to start a Telnet session (through a
console or Telnet connection) and to access the member switch CLI. The command mode changes, and
the CLI commands operate as usual. Enter the exit privileged EXEC command on the 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 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 command
switch. The CLI 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 command switch is
at privilege level 15. If the command switch is at privilege level 1 to 14, you are prompted for the
password to access the menu console.
