Using the CLI to Manage Switch Clusters
This section shows how to use the CLI to manage switch clusters.
Prerequisites
Configure Cisco EtherSwitch service modules or switches that are members of a cluster from the CLI by
first logging in to the cluster command service module or switch.
SUMMARY STEPS
1. rcommand {n | commander | mac-address hw-addr}
2. show version
3. exit
4. show cluster members [n | detail] [{begin | exclude | include} expression] (optional)
DETAILED STEPS
Command or Action Purpose
Step 1
rcommand
Example:
Switch# rcommand 3
Starts a Telnet session to execute commands on a cluster
member service module or switch from the cluster
command service module or switch or the switch stack.
• To end the session, enter the exit command.
• If you do not know the number of the member service
module, enter the show cluster members privileged
EXEC command on the cluster command service
module. The Telnet session accesses the member
service module CLI at the same privilege level as on the
cluster command service module. The Cisco IOS
commands then operate as usual.
Step 2
show version
Example:
Switch-3# show version
Displays version information for the hardware and firmware
of the cluster member service module or cluster member
switch.
