Remarks
  • Using the cluster netint[erface] command

    The cluster name is optional. 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 commands /node:node name/network:network name are both required. You cannot supply one without supplying the other.

  • Using the /stat[us] command-line option

    The network name and node name are optional. If you do not provide the network name and node name, the status of all cluster network interfaces is displayed.

  • Using the /prop[erties] [PropertyList] command-line option

    The network name and node name are optional. Properties for all network interfaces are displayed if you do not provide a network name and node name. For more information on property lists, see Related Topics.

  • Using the /priv[properties] [PropertyList] command-line option

    The network name and node name are optional. If you do not provide a network name and node name, the private properties for all network interfaces are displayed. For more information on property lists, see Related Topics.
