Switch Clustering
– 508 –
then use the Commander to manage the Member switches through the
cluster’s “internal” IP addresses.
Clustered switches must be in the same Ethernet broadcast domain. In
other words, clustering only functions for switches which can pass
information between the Commander and potential Candidates or
active Members through VLAN 4093.
Once a switch has been configured to be a cluster Commander, it
automatically discovers other cluster-enabled switches in the network.
These “Candidate” switches only become cluster Members when
manually selected by the administrator through the management
station.

Cluster Member switches can be managed either through a Telnet
connection to the Commander, or through a web management connection
to the Commander. When using a console connection, from the
Commander CLI prompt, use the

switch.

To create a switch cluster, first be sure that clustering is enabled on the
switch (the default is enabled), then set the switch as a Cluster
Commander. Set a Cluster IP Pool that does not conflict with any other
IP subnets in the network. Cluster IP addresses are assigned to
switches when they become Members and are used for communication
between Member switches and the Commander.
Switch clusters are limited to the same Ethernet broadcast domain.
There can be up to 100 candidates and 36 member switches in one
cluster.
A switch can only be a Member of one cluster.
Configured switch clusters are maintained across power resets and
network changes.
