Access modes affect the availability of features from CMS. The footnotes in
availability of an option based on your access mode in CMS: read-only (access level 1–14) and
read-write (access level 15). For more information about how access modes affect CMS, see the
"Access Modes in CMS" section on page
The option for enabling a command switch is only available from a CMS session launched from a
command-capable switch.
Cluster management tasks, such as upgrading the software of groups of switches, are available only
from a CMS session launched from a command switch.
If you launch CMS from a specific switch, the menu bar displays the features supported only by that
switch.
If you launch CMS from a command switch, the menu bar displays the features supported on the
switches in the cluster, with these exceptions:
– If the command switch is a Layer 3 switch, such as a Catalyst 3550 switch, the menu bar
displays the features of all Layer 3 and Layer 2 switches in the cluster.
If the command switch is a Layer 2 switch, such as a Catalyst 2950 or Catalyst 3500 XL switch,
–
the menu bar displays the features of all Layer 2 switches in the cluster. The menu bar does not
display Layer 3 features even if the cluster has Catalyst 3550 Layer 3 member switches.
