Getting 2950 Cluster members

[adengtwc2005]

I have three 2950 switches and I want to cluster, but I cannot see the other member switches.The switches are in service and running ok connected but the cms cant see anyone else. Are there services that I need to start on the switch. I can telnet or http to each switch but not in the cluster.

Make sure switches have the CMS software. Would like something like the following:
switch_2950_1#dir
Directory of flash:/

2 -rwx 109 Jan 05 2005 12:46:59 -08:00 info
3 -rwx 3086328 Jan 05 2005 12:48:44 -08:00 c2950-i6q4l2-mz.121-22.EAn
4 drwx 3968 Jan 05 2005 12:49:18 -08:00 html
337 -rwx 109 Jan 05 2005 12:49:52 -08:00 info.ver
338 -rwx 2334 Apr 25 2005 13:32:00 -08:00 config.text
339 -rwx 5 Apr 25 2005 13:32:00 -08:00 private-config.text

On command switch need:

cluster enable cluster_name 0
cluster member 1 mac-address xxx.xxx.xxx (Mac of Member Switch)
cluster member 2 mac-address xxx.xxx.xxx

On member switch need:

cluster commander-address xxx.xxx.xxx member 1 name cluster_name vlan 1 (Mac of Command Switch)

Also take a look at the following:

I cannot seem to get the cluster member 1 command to work. Must be syntax im inputting.


Cms is installed on all 3 switches.

Does trunking have to be on in order to see all 3 switches from the command switch?

Can you post output from show version and sho flash please.

NM...missed part were you said cms was installed.

I assume you enterered the cluster enable statement


cluster enable cluster_name 0

And then tried

cluster member 1 mac-address XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX

Left something off of last post

cluster member 1 mac-address XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX vlan #

Might try that and if still no good maybe post the error you are getting

By the way....was just re-doing the cluster config on my switches.
The order you must do this in is:
1: cluster enable on the command switch
2: enter cluster commander information on member switches
3: enter cluster members on command switch

Will not work if not done in this order.
