Command History
Usage Guidelines This command runs on any command-capable switch that is not part of any cluster. This command fails
if a device is already configured as a member of the cluster.
You must name the cluster when you enable the command switch. If the switch is already configured as
the command switch, this command changes the cluster name if it is different from the previous name.
Examples This example shows how to enable the command switch, name the cluster, and set the command switch
member number to 4:
Switch(config)# cluster enable Engineering-IDF4 4
You can verify your settings by entering the show cluster privileged EXEC command on the command
switch.
