Remove From Cluster Window

This window appears when you choose Cluster > Remove From Cluster from the menu bar. You can also click here to launch it.

Follow these steps to remove a member switch from the cluster:

  1. In the Current Members list, select the switches that you want to remove from the cluster.
    To select all the switches in the list, click Select All.
  2. Click Add to move your selections to the Remove From Cluster list.
    To remove switches from this list, select the switches and click Remove.
    To remove all switches from the list, click Select All and then Remove.
  3. Click OK.
  4. From the Administration menu, choose Save Configuration to save your changes to nonvolatile memory.
    Note: Catalyst 1900 and 2820 switches automatically save configuration changes to nonvolatile memory. Allow approximately 1 minute for changes to be saved to nonvolatile memory before resetting or turning off the switch.

Note: If you remove a member that has downstream members connected to it and the software does not have enough information to draw these members on the map, the downstream members appear as orphan devices in the upper left area of the Topology view. These orphan devices are cluster members that you can configure.
