rcommand
rcommand
Use the rcommand user EXEC command to start a Telnet session and to enter commands from a cluster
command switch for a member switch. To end the session, enter the exit command.
rcommand {n | commander | mac-address hw-addr}
Syntax Description
Command Modes User EXEC
Command History
Usage Guidelines If the switch is the cluster command switch but the member switch n does not exist, an error message
appears. To obtain the switch number, enter the show cluster members privileged EXEC command on
the command switch.
You can use this command to access a member switch from the command-switch prompt or to access a
command switch from the member-switch prompt.
For Catalyst 2900 XL, 2940, 2950, 2955, 3500 XL, and 3550 switches, the Telnet session accesses the
member-switch command-line interface (CLI) at the same privilege level as on the command switch. For
example, if you enter this command at user level on the cluster command switch, the member switch is
accessed at user level. If you use this command on the command switch at privileged level, the command
accesses the remote device at privileged level. If you use an intermediate enable-level lower than
privileged, access to the member switch is at user level.
For Catalyst 1900 and 2820 switches running standard edition software, the Telnet session accesses the
menu console (the menu-driven interface) if the command switch is at privilege level 15. If the command
switch is at privilege level 1, you are prompted for the password before being able to access the menu
console. Command switch privilege levels map to the member switches running standard edition
software as follows:
• If the command switch privilege level is from 1 to 14, the member switch is accessed at privilege
level 1.
• If the command switch privilege level is 15, the member switch is accessed at privilege level 15.
This command does not work if the vty lines of the command switch have access-class configurations.
You are not prompted for a password because the member switches inherited the password of the
command switch when they joined the cluster.
n Provide the number that identifies a cluster member. The range is 0 to 15.
commander Provide access to the command switch from a member switch.
mac-address hw-addr MAC address of the member switch.
