member devices on a
device which is to be
configured as the
management device
ip-pool
administrator-ip-address
{
mask | mask-length
}
Required
For a cluster to work
normally, the IP
addresses of the VLAN
interfaces of the
management device and
member devices must not
be in the same network
segment as that of the
cluster address pool.
Configure the current
device as the
management device and
assign a name to it
build name
Required
By default, the device is
not the management
device.
II. Automatically establishing a cluster
In addition to establishing a cluster manually, you are also provided with the means to
establish a cluster automatically. With only a few commands (as shown in the table
below) on the management device, you can let the system automatically build a cluster.
During the process, you will first be asked to enter a name for the cluster you want to
establish, the system then lists all the candidate devices within your predefined hop
counts and starts to automatically add them to the cluster.
You can use <Ctrl+C> anytime during the adding process to exit cluster auto-building.
However, this will only stop adding new devices into the cluster, and devices already
added in the cluster are not removed.
Follow these steps to automatically establish a cluster:
