rcom/rcommand command help

[molecul3]

Hi all,

Can someone explain to me when and when can't the rcom/rcommand command work for a switch. Could it be that if each switch has its own IP address means that its not a clustered stack and will not rcom to each other. The rcom used to work when I had one IP for the master and then could rcom to the rest of the switches in the cluster which did not have IPs. The other reason i can think of is because of the ACLs i put in. Am i right in saying that? Hope someone could clarify my question. Thanks in advance

If you have a cluster and all switches are in the same management vlan, and having trunking between them, it should work. You should be able to use clustering with IPs; if you couldn't that would make clustering useless for the majority of Cisco's customers. My understanding is that the "clustering" happens at layer2, so I don't think an access-list would be your problem.

Please explain a bit more how your switches are connected, how many vlans you have; including the cluster configuration from the commander and one of the members would be helpful as well.
