Cluster (2) 3548 XL Switches

Racquel_Mays · ‎11-26-2011

Hello,

I am looking to cluster the aformentioned switches using the CLI. All the documentation that I have found all speak to performing the cluster configuration using CMS. I can only get to these switches via remote console so a GUI is out of the question for me. Anyone have any ideas. They would be MUCH appreciated.

My ultimate goal is to configure these (2) switches for HSRP. Howver, everything that I found leads me to believe that I have to cluster in order to confiure the HSRP on these switches. Is this that case?

The 2900XL/3500XL are layer-2 only devices. Because of this, HSRP isn't supported.
