You can change the management VLAN through a console connection without
interrupting the console connection. However, changing the management
VLAN ends your CMS session. Restart your CMS session by entering the new
IP address in the browser Location field (Netscape Communicator) or
Address field (Microsoft Internet Explorer), as described in the release notes.
To change the management VLAN on an existing cluster, see the
Management VLAN for a New Switch" section on page
If you add a new switch to an existing cluster and the cluster is using a
management VLAN other than the default VLAN 1, the command switch
automatically senses that the new switch has a different management VLAN and
has not been configured. The command switch issues commands to change the
management VLAN on the new switch to match the one in use by the cluster. This
automatic change of the VLAN only occurs for new, out-of-box switches that do
not have a config.text file and for which there have been no changes to the running
configuration.
A network port cannot link cluster members. For more information about the
network port, see the
"Enabling a Network Port" section on page
When a cluster is created, Network Address Translation (NAT) commands are
added to the configuration file of the command switch. Do not remove these
commands.
