Switch Cluster Commands
Switch Clustering is a method of grouping switches together to enable
centralized management through a single unit. A switch cluster has a
“Commander” unit that is used to manage all other “Member” switches in
the cluster. The management station uses Telnet to communicate directly
with the Commander throught its IP address, and the Commander
manages Member switches using cluster “internal” IP addresses. There
can be up to 36 Member switches in one cluster. Cluster switches are
limited to within a single IP subnet.
cluster
This command enables clustering on the switch. Use the no form to
disable clustering.
