Chapter 2 Getting Started with CMS Menus and Toolbar Note • We strongly recommend that the highest-end, command-capable switch in the cluster be the command switch: - If your switch cluster has a Catalyst 3550 switch, that switch should be the command switch. - If your switch cluster has Catalyst 2900 XL, Catalyst 2950, and Catalyst 3500 XL switches, the Catalyst 2950 should be the command switch. - If your switch cluster has Catalyst 1900, Catalyst 2820, Catalyst 2900 XL, and Catalyst 3500 XL switches, either the Catalyst 2900 XL or Catalyst 3500 XL should be the command switch. • Standby command switches must meet these requirements: - When the command switch is a Catalyst 3550 switch, all standby command switches must be Catalyst 3550 switches. - When the command switch is a Catalyst 2950 switch running Release 12.1(9)EA1 or later, all standby command switches must be Catalyst 2950 switches running Release 12.1(9)EA1 or later. - When the command switch is a Catalyst 2950 switch running Release 12.1(6)EA2 or later, all standby command switches must be Catalyst 2950 switches running Release 12.1(6)EA2 or later. - When the command switch is running Release 12.0(5)WC2 or earlier, the standby command switches can be these switches: Catalyst 2900 XL, Catalyst 2950, and Catalyst 3500 XL switches. We strongly recommend that the command switch and standby command switches are of the same switch platform. - If you have a Catalyst 3550 command switch, the standby command switches should be Catalyst 3550 switches. - If you have a Catalyst 2950 command switch, the standby command switches should be Catalyst 2950 switches. - If you have a Catalyst 2900 XL or Catalyst 3500 XL command switch, the standby command switches should be Catalyst 2900 XL and Catalyst 3500 XL switches. Refer to the release notes (http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/lan/c2900xl/index.htm) for the Catalyst switches that can be part of a switch cluster. Note Unless noted otherwise, Table 2-15 lists the menu-bar options available from a Catalyst 2900 XL or Catalyst 3500 XL command switch and when the cluster contains only Catalyst 2900 XL and Catalyst 3500 XL member switches. The menu bar of the command switch displays all menu-bar options available from the cluster, including options from member switches from other cluster-capable switch platforms. 78-6511-08 Catalyst 2900 Series XL and Catalyst 3500 Series XL Software Configuration Guide 2-19
