Switch Clustering

[nelson.garcia]

Trying to set a switch as the member of a cluster but I keep getting the serror "This command runs only the command switch"

cluster member 3 mac-address H.H.H

Makes no sense to me.

Anyone?

A cluster can only have one command switch. The command you are trying to use can only be entered on the command switch and you are trying to enter it on a cluster member. To see the command switch type "sh cluster" on the memeber switch and it will tell you which switch is the command switch -

2950  sh cluster  command

then logon on to the command switch and enter the command there.

Don't run the command from the member.  Run the command from the master.  Here's the following sequence:

1.  On the switch master, run the command in enable mode:  cluster enable
2.  Exit out and run the command "sh cluster candidate".
3.  Then go back to enable mode and enter the command "cluster member mac password [vlan ]"

Hope this helps.
