Cluster netinterface

The basic cluster netinterface syntax is:

cluster [[/cluster:]cluster name] netinterface /node: node name /network: network name /option

The cluster name is optional. If no option is specified, the default option is /status.

If the name of your cluster is also a cluster command or its abbreviation, such as cluster or c, use /cluster: to explicitly specify the cluster name. For a list of all the cluster commands, see Related Topics.

The following table describes the available cluster netinterface options:
