Access modes affect the availability of features from CMS. The footnotes in
availability of an option based on your access mode in CMS: read-only (access level 1–14) and
read-write (access level 15). For more information about how access modes affect CMS, see the
"Access Modes in CMS" section on page
The option for enabling a command switch is only available from a CMS session launched from a
command-capable switch.
Cluster management tasks, such as upgrading the software of groups of switches, are available only
from a CMS session launched from a command switch.
If you launch CMS from a specific switch, the menu bar displays the features supported only by that
switch.
If you launch CMS from a command switch, the menu bar displays the features supported on the
switches in the cluster, with these exceptions:
If the command switch is a Layer 3 switch, such as a Catalyst 3550 switch, the menu bar
–
displays the features of all Layer 3 and Layer 2 switches in the cluster.
– If the command switch is a Layer 2 switch, such as a Catalyst 2950 or Catalyst 3500 XL switch,
the menu bar displays the features of all Layer 2 switches in the cluster. The menu bar does not
display Layer 3 features even if the cluster has Catalyst 3550 Layer 3 member switches.
The menu-bar options on a Catalyst 2950 switch change depending on whether the switch is
running the enhanced software image or the standard image. The footnotes in
options available if the switch is running the enhanced software image.
