Chapter 9 Troubleshooting Recovery Procedures Replacing a Failed Command Switch with a Cluster Member Follow these steps to replace a failed command switch with a command-capable member of the same cluster: Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Step 6 Step 7 Step 8 Disconnect the command switch from the member switches, and physically remove it from the cluster. Use a member switch in place of the failed command switch, and duplicate its connections to the cluster members. Start a command-line interface (CLI) session on the new command switch. You can access the CLI by using the console port or, if an IP address has been assigned to the switch, by using Telnet. For details about using the console port, refer to the switch installation guide. At the switch prompt, change to privileged EXEC mode: Switch> enable Switch# Enter the password of the failed command switch. From privileged EXEC mode, enter global configuration mode. Switch# config terminal Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. From global configuration mode, remove previous command-switch information from the switch. Switch(config)# no cluster commander-address Return to privileged EXEC mode. Switch(config)# exit Switch# 78-6511-05 Catalyst 2900 Series XL and Catalyst 3500 Series XL Software Configuration Guide 9-15
