Creating a Switch Cluster
Figure 6-12 Using the Topology View to Add Member Switches
Creating a Cluster Standby Group
The cluster standby group members must meet the requirements described in the Standby Command
Switch Characteristics section on page 6-3 and HSRP and Standby Command Switches section on
page 6-13. To create a cluster standby group, select Cluster > Standby Command Switches
(Figure 6-13).
Instead of using CMS to add switches to a standby group and to bind the standby group to a cluster, you
can use the standby ip, the standby name, and the standby priority interface configuration commands
and the cluster standby group global configuration command.
Note When the command switch is a Catalyst 3550 switch, all standby command switches must be
Catalyst 3550 switches.
When the command switch is a Catalyst 2950 switch running Release 12.1(9)EA1 or later, all
standby command switches must be Catalyst 2950 switches running Release 12.1(9)EA1 or later.
When the command switch is a Catalyst 2950 switch running Release 12.1(6)EA2 or later, all
standby command switches must be Catalyst 2950 switches running Release 12.1(6)EA2 or later.
When the command switch is running Release 12.0(5)WC2 or earlier, the standby command
switches can be these switches: Catalyst 2900 XL, Catalyst 2950, and Catalyst 3500 XL switches.
Thin line means a
connection to a
candidate switch.
Right-click a candidate
switch to display the
pop-up menu, and select
Add to Cluster to add
the switch to the cluster.
