**A note about the word slave used in this man page and command name**: starting with Redis version 5, if not for backward compatibility, the Redis project no longer uses the word slave. Please use the new command [`CLUSTER REPLICAS`](https://redis.io/docs/latest/commands/cluster-replicas). The command `CLUSTER SLAVES` will continue to work for backward compatibility.

The command provides a list of replica nodes replicating from the specified
master node. The list is provided in the same format used by [`CLUSTER NODES`](https://redis.io/docs/latest/commands/cluster-nodes) (please refer to its documentation for the specification of the format).

The command will fail if the specified node is not known or if it is not
a master according to the node table of the node receiving the command.

Note that if a replica is added, moved, or removed from a given master node,
and we ask `CLUSTER SLAVES` to a node that has not yet received the
configuration update, it may show stale information. However eventually
(in a matter of seconds if there are no network partitions) all the nodes
will agree about the set of nodes associated with a given master.
