Cluster Switch-To - 3Com 5500-EI PWR Reference Manual

Use the undo cluster enable command to disable the cluster function.
By default, the cluster function is enabled.
Note that:
To create a cluster on a management device through the build command or the auto-build
command, you must first enable the cluster function by executing the cluster enable command.
When you execute the undo cluster enable command on the management device, the cluster
function is disabled on the device, and the device stops operating as a management device, and
the cluster and all its members are removed.
When you execute the undo cluster enable command on a member device, the cluster function is
disabled on the device, and the device leaves the cluster.
When you execute undo cluster enable command on a device that does not belong to any cluster,
the cluster function is disabled on the device, and thus you cannot create a cluster on the device or
add the device to an existing cluster.
Examples
# Enable the cluster function on the switch.

cluster switch-to

Syntax
cluster switch-to { member-number | mac-address H-H-H | administrator }
View
User view
Parameters
member-number: Member number of a member device, ranging from 1 to 255.
mac-address H-H-H: Specifies the MAC address of a member device.
administrator: Switches back from the member device to the management device.
Description
Use the cluster switch-to command to switch between the management device and a member device
for configuration and management.
On the management device, you can switch to the view of a member device to configure and manage
the member device, and then switch back to the management device.
Both switching directions (from the management device to a member device, and from a member
device to the management device) will use Telnet connection. Switching is performed based on the
following rules:
Both switching directions will perform authentication. In a switching process, the system will
authenticate the level-3 super password. If the super password on the device that requests the
switching is inconsistent with that on the requested device, the switching fails. When a candidate
device joins the cluster, its super password will automatically synchronize to the supper password
