Thanks in advance

what is actually a cisco switch clustering?it is a stack port activity or ethernet port activity?Swicth satcking and clustering are same word or differnert?

Different. The clustering is used with the older 29xx models, and is not very effective in my opinion.

True stacking models are the 3750s.

Hope this helps, please rate post if it does!

hi,

thanks for help

but i want to know how to configure clustering?it's just a cable connection or any config is there?

clustering is just usefull to manage many switches by a single IP address (save IP addresses).

no need for special cable.

to do it: you can use the web interface of your switch or look at this : http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps607/products_tech_note09186a00801347f8.shtml

good luck

Hi,

Stacking and clustering are different.

A switch cluster is a set of up to 16 connected, cluster-capable Catalyst switches that are managed as a single entity. The switches in the cluster use the switch clustering technology so that you can configure and troubleshoot a group of different Catalyst desktop switch platforms through a single IP address.

Using switch clusters simplifies the management of multiple switches, regardless of their physical location and platform families.

Look at this... http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst3750/software/release/12.2_25_sec/configuration/guide/3750scg.html
