Using the CLI to Manage Switch Clusters

Figure 5-12 Inventory Window
If you lose connectivity with a cluster member switch or if a cluster command switch fails, see the
cluster-related recovery procedures in Chapter 35, "Troubleshooting."
For more information about creating and managing clusters, refer to the online help. For information
about the cluster commands, refer to the switch command reference.
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 "Disabling Password Recovery" section on page 8-5.
