Switch Clustering is a method of grouping switches together to enable centralized
management through a single unit. Switches that support clustering can be grouped
together regardless of physical location or switch type, as long as they are
connected to the same local network.
Using Switch Clustering
• A switch cluster has a primary unit called the “Commander” which is used to
manage all other “Member” switches in the cluster. The management station uses
both Telnet and the web interface to communicate directly with the Commander
through its IP address, while the Commander manages Member switches using
the cluster’s “internal” IP addresses.
• 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.
Note:
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
rcommand
(see page 4-84) to connect to the Member switch.
This command enables clustering on the switch. Use the
no
form to disable
clustering.
