Cisco Systems 3560 사용자 설명서

This chapter provides the concepts and procedures to create and manage Catalyst 3560 switch clusters. 

You can create and manage switch clusters by using Cisco Network Assistant (hereafter known as 
Network Assistant), the command-line interface (CLI), or SNMP. For complete procedures, see the 
online help. For the CLI cluster commands, see the switch command reference.

 Network Assistant supports switch clusters, but we recommend that you instead group switches into 
communities. Network Assistant has a Cluster Conversion Wizard to help you convert a cluster to a 
community. For more information about Network Assistant, including introductory information on 
managing switch clusters and converting a switch cluster to a community, see Getting Started with Cisco 
Network Assistant, available on Cisco.com.

This chapter focuses on Catalyst 3560 switch clusters. It also includes guidelines and limitations for 
clusters mixed with other cluster-capable Catalyst switches, but it does not provide complete 
descriptions of the cluster features for these other switches. For complete cluster information for a 
specific Catalyst platform, refer to the software configuration guide for that switch.

This chapter consists of these sections:

We do not recommend using the ip http access-class global configuration command to limit access to 
specific hosts or networks. Access should be controlled through the cluster command switch or by 
applying access control lists (ACLs) on interfaces that are configured with IP address. For more 
information on ACLs, see 

.

A switch cluster is a set of up to 16 connected, cluster-capable Catalyst switches that are managed as a 
single entity. The switches in the cluster use the switch clustering technology so that you can configure 
and troubleshoot a group of different Catalyst desktop switch platforms through a single IP address.
