Recovering from a Failed Command Switch Without Replacing the Command Switch, Step 17

Page 289 highlights

Chapter 9 Troubleshooting Recovery Procedures Step 17 The initial configuration is displayed: The following configuration command script was created: ip subnet-zero interface VLAN1 ip address 172.20.153.36 255.255.255.0 ip default-gateway 172.20.153.01 hostname host_name enable secret 5 $1$M3pS$cXtAlkyR3/6Cn8/ line vty 0 15 password telnet_password snmp community private rw snmp community public ro cluster enable cls_name end Step 18 Verify that the information is correct. • If the information is correct, enter Y at the prompt, and press Return. • If the information is not correct, enter N at the prompt, press Return, and begin again at Step 1. Use this configuration? [yes/no]: y Step 19 Step 20 Start your browser, and enter the switch IP address that you entered in Step 7. Click Cluster Management Suite to display CMS. It prompts you to add the candidate switches. The password of the failed command switch is still valid for the cluster. Enter it when candidate switches are proposed for cluster membership, and click OK. Recovering from a Failed Command Switch Without Replacing the Command Switch If a command switch fails and there is no standby command switch configured, member switches continue forwarding among themselves, and they can still be managed through normal standalone means. You can configure member switches through the console-port CLI, and they can be managed through SNMP, HTML, and Telnet after you assign an IP address to them. The password you enter when you log in to the command switch gives you access to member switches. If the command switch fails and there is no standby command switch, you can use the command-switch password to recover.

Recovery Procedures
Step 17
The initial configuration is displayed:
The following configuration command script was created:
ip subnet-zero
interface VLAN1
ip address
172.20.153.36 255.255.255.0
ip default-gateway
172.20.153.01
hostname
host_name
enable secret 5 $1$M3pS$cXtAlkyR3/6Cn8/
line vty 0 15
password
telnet_password
snmp community private rw
snmp community public ro
cluster enable
cls_name
end
Step 18
Verify that the information is correct.
If the information is correct, enter
Y
at the prompt, and press
Return
.
If the information is not correct, enter
N
at the prompt, press
Return
, and begin again at Step 1.
Use this configuration? [yes/no]:
y
Step 19
Start your browser, and enter the switch IP address that you entered in Step 7.
Step 20
Click
Cluster Management Suite
to display CMS.
It prompts you to add the candidate switches. The password of the failed command switch is still valid
for the cluster. Enter it when candidate switches are proposed for cluster membership, and click
OK
.
Recovering from a Failed Command Switch Without Replacing the Command Switch
If a command switch fails and there is no standby command switch configured, member switches
continue forwarding among themselves, and they can still be managed through normal standalone
means. You can configure member switches through the console-port CLI, and they can be managed
through SNMP, HTML, and Telnet after you assign an IP address to them.
The password you enter when you log in to the command switch gives you access to member switches.
If the command switch fails and there is no standby command switch, you can use the command-switch
password to recover. For more information, see the
“Recovering from a Command Switch Failure”
section on page 9-18
