Switch Clustering
– 155 –
◆
Cluster Member switches can be managed through a Telnet connection to the
Commander. From the Commander CLI prompt, use the rcommand
id
command to connect to the Member switch.
Example
Console(config)#cluster commander
Console(config)#
cluster ip-pool
This command sets the cluster IP address pool. Use the
no
form to reset to the
default address.
Syntax
cluster ip-pool
ip-address
no cluster ip-pool
ip-address - The base IP address for IP addresses assigned to cluster
Members. The IP address must start 10.x.x.x.
Default Setting
10.254.254.1
Command Mode
Global Configuration
Command Usage
◆
An “internal” IP address pool is used to assign IP addresses to Member switches
in the cluster. Internal cluster IP addresses are in the form 10.x.x.member-ID.
Only the base IP address of the pool needs to be set since Member IDs can only
be between 1 and 36.
◆
Set a Cluster IP Pool that does not conflict with addresses in the network IP
subnet. Cluster IP addresses are assigned to switches when they become
Members and are used for communication between Member switches and the
Commander.
◆
You cannot change the cluster IP pool when the switch is currently in
Commander mode. Commander mode must first be disabled.
Example
Console(config)#cluster ip-pool 10.2.3.4
Console(config)#
