Usage Guidelines
Enter this command only on the command switch to add a candidate to or remove a member from the
cluster. If you enter this command on a switch other than the command switch, the switch rejects the
command and displays an error message.
You must enter a member number to remove a switch from the cluster. However, you do not need to
enter a member number to add a switch to the cluster. The command switch selects the next available
member number and assigns it to the switch that is joining the cluster.
You must enter the enable password of the candidate switch for authentication when it joins the cluster.
The password is not saved in the running or startup configuration. After a candidate switch becomes a
member of the cluster, its password becomes the same as the command-switch password.
If a switch does not have a configured host name, the command switch appends a member number to the
command-switch host name and assigns it to the member switch.
If you do not specify a VLAN ID, the command switch automatically chooses a VLAN and adds the
candidate to the cluster.
Examples
This example shows how to add a switch as member 2 with MAC address 00E0.1E00.2222 and the
password key to a cluster. The command switch adds the candidate to the cluster through VLAN 3.
Switch(config)# cluster member 2 mac-address 00E0.1E00.2222 password key vlan 3
