3750 switch stack & cluster commands

davidbuit · ‎08-02-2009

I currently have a Cisco 3750 switch as a standalone switch. The stsandalone switch is configured in a cluster e.g.

cluster enable MYCLUSTER 0

cluster member 1 mac-address 000f.900b.5920

cluster member 2 mac-address 000f.f70c.3580

cluster member 3 mac-address 000f.f779.9140

I am going to add another 3750 switch to the network but I am going to connect the 3750 to the existing 3750 using the stack cables and configure the existing switch as the stack master.

Is this likely to impact on the configuration of the cluster?

Many thanks

Don't configure anything on the new 3750.

Connect the Stack cable BEFORE powering up the new switch. The new switch will copy or share the configuration from the stack master.

Just make sure the new switch has the same IOS as the Stack master.

Hope this helps.

Take a look at provisioning the switch before installing.
