Cluster Commander-Address - Cisco Catalyst 3750 Command Reference Manual

Chapter 2 Catalyst 3750 Switch Cisco IOS Commands

cluster commander-address

You do not need to enter this command from the switch stack or from a standalone cluster member switch.
The cluster command switch automatically provides its MAC address to cluster member switches when
these switches join the cluster. The cluster member switch adds this information and other cluster
information to its running configuration file. Use the no form of this global configuration command from
the cluster member switch console port to remove the switch from a cluster only during debugging or
recovery procedures.
Syntax Description mac-address
member number
name name
Defaults
The switch is not a member of any cluster.
Command Modes Global configuration
Command History Release
12.1(11)AX
Usage Guidelines This command is available only on the cluster command switch stack or the cluster command switch.
A cluster member can have only one cluster command switch.
The cluster member switch retains the identity of the cluster command switch during a system reload by
using the mac-address parameter.
You can enter the no form on a cluster member switch to remove it from the cluster during debugging or
recovery procedures. You would normally use this command from the cluster member switch console
port only when the member has lost communication with the cluster command switch. With normal
switch configuration, we recommend that you remove cluster member switches only by entering the no
cluster member n global configuration command on the cluster command switch.
When a standby cluster command switch becomes active (becomes the cluster command switch), it
removes the cluster commander address line from its configuration.
