Configuring the Switch
3-184
switches only become cluster Members when manually selected by the
administrator through the management station.
Note:
Cluster Member switches can be managed through only using a Telnet connection
to the Commander. From the Commander CLI prompt, use the “rcommand”
command (see page 4-238) to connect to the Member switch.
Cluster Configuration
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 the network IP subnet. Cluster IP addresses are
assigned to switches when they become Members and are used for communication
between Member switches and the Commander.
Command Attributes
•
Cluster Status
– Enables or disables clustering on the switch.
•
Cluster Commander
– Enables or disables the switch as a cluster Commander.
•
Role
– Indicates the current role of the switch in the cluster; either Commander,
Member, or Candidate.
•
Cluster IP Pool
– An “internal” IP address pool that is used to assign IP addresses
to Member switches in the cluster. Internal cluster IP addresses are in the form
10.
x.x.member-ID
. Only the base IP address of the pool needs to be set since
Member IDs can only be between 1 and 36. Note that you cannot change the
cluster IP pool when the switch is currently in Commander mode. Commandoer
mode must first be disabled.
•
Number of Members
– The current number of Member switches in the cluster.
•
Number of Candidates
– The current number of Candidate switches discovered
in the network that are available to become Members.
