Catalyst 2350 Switch Cisco IOS Commands
cluster commander-address
You do not need to enter this command from a standalone cluster member switch. The cluster command
switch automatically provides its MAC address to cluster member switches when these switches join the
cluster. The cluster member switch adds this information and other cluster information to its running
configuration file. Use the no form of this global configuration command from the cluster member
switch console port or Ethernet management port to remove the switch from a cluster only during
debugging or recovery procedures.

Usage Guidelines
This command is available only on the cluster command switch.
A cluster member can have only one cluster command switch.
The cluster member switch retains the identity of the cluster command switch during a system reload by
using the mac-address parameter.
You can enter the no form on a cluster member switch to remove it from the cluster during debugging or
recovery procedures. You would normally use this command from the cluster member switch console
port or Ethernet management port only when the member has lost communication with the cluster
command switch. With normal switch configuration, we recommend that you remove cluster member
switches only by entering the no cluster member n global configuration command on the cluster
command switch.
When a standby cluster command switch becomes active (becomes the cluster command switch), it
removes the cluster commander address line from its configuration.
