Chapter 38 Cluster Management The following table describes the labels in this screen. Table 123 Management > Cluster Management > Configuration LABEL Clustering Manager Active Name VID Apply Cancel Clustering Candidate List Password DESCRIPTION Select Active to have this Switch become the cluster manager switch. A cluster can only have one manager. Other (directly connected) switches that are set to be cluster managers will not be visible in the Clustering Candidates list. If a switch that was previously a cluster member is later set to become a cluster manager, then its Status is displayed as Error in the Cluster Management Status screen and a warning icon ( ) appears in the member summary list below. Type a name to identify the Clustering Manager. You may use up to 32 printable characters (spaces are allowed). This is the VLAN ID and is only applicable if the Switch is set to 802.1Q VLAN. All switches must be directly connected and in the same VLAN group to belong to the same cluster. Switches that are not in the same VLAN group are not visible in the Clustering Candidates list. This field is ignored if the Clustering Manager is using Port-based VLAN. Click Apply to save your changes to the Switch's run-time memory. The Switch loses these changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the Save link on the top navigation panel to save your changes to the non-volatile memory when you are done configuring. Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh. The following fields relate to the switches that are potential cluster members. A list of suitable candidates found by auto-discovery is shown here. The switches must be directly connected. Directly connected switches that are set to be cluster managers will not be visible in the Clustering Candidate list. Switches that are not in the same management VLAN group will not be visible in the Clustering Candidate list. Each cluster member's password is its web configurator password. Select a member in the Clustering Candidate list and then enter its web configurator password. If that switch administrator changes the web configurator password afterwards, then it cannot be managed from the Cluster Manager. Its Status is displayed as Error in the Cluster Management Status screen and a warning icon ( ) appears in the member summary list below. If multiple devices have the same password then hold [SHIFT] and click those switches to select them. Then enter their common web configurator password. Add Click Add to save your changes to the Switch's run-time memory. The Switch loses these changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the Save link on the top navigation panel to save your changes to the non-volatile memory when you are done configuring. Cancel Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh. Refresh Click Refresh to perform auto-discovery again to list potential cluster members. The next summary table shows the information for the clustering members configured. Index This is the index number of a cluster member switch. MacAddr This is the cluster member switch's hardware MAC address. Name This is the cluster member switch's System Name. Model This is the cluster member switch's model name. Remove Select this checkbox and then click the Remove button to remove a cluster member switch from the cluster. Cancel Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh.

The following table describes the labels in this screen.
Table 123
Management > Cluster Management > Configuration
LABEL
DESCRIPTION
Clustering Manager
Active
Select
Active
to have this Switch become the cluster manager switch. A cluster can
only have one manager. Other (directly connected) switches that are set to be cluster
managers will not be visible in the
Clustering Candidates
list. If a switch that was
previously a cluster member is later set to become a cluster manager, then its
Status
is
displayed as
Error
in the
Cluster Management Status
screen and a warning icon
(
) appears in the member summary list below.
Name
Type a name to identify the
Clustering Manager.
You may use up to 32 printable
characters (spaces are allowed).
VID
This is the VLAN ID and is only applicable if the Switch is set to
802.1Q
VLAN. All
switches must be directly connected and in the same VLAN group to belong to the same
cluster. Switches that are not in the same VLAN group are not visible in the
Clustering
Candidates
list. This field is ignored if the
Clustering Manager
is using
Port-based
VLAN.
Apply
Click
Apply
to save your changes to the Switch’s run-time memory. The Switch loses
these changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the
Save
link on the top
navigation panel to save your changes to the non-volatile memory when you are done
configuring.
Cancel
Click
Cancel
to begin configuring this screen afresh.
Clustering
Candidate
The following fields relate to the switches that are potential cluster members.
List
A list of suitable candidates found by auto-discovery is shown here. The switches must
be directly connected. Directly connected switches that are set to be cluster managers
will not be visible in the
Clustering Candidate
list.
Switches that are not in the same
management VLAN group will not be visible in the
Clustering Candidate
list.
Password
Each cluster member’s password is its web configurator password. Select a member in
the
Clustering Candidate
list and then enter its web configurator password. If that
switch administrator changes the web configurator password afterwards, then it cannot
be managed from the
Cluster Manager
. Its
Status
is displayed as
Error
in the
Cluster Management Status
screen and a warning icon (
) appears in the member
summary list below.
If multiple devices have the same password then hold [SHIFT] and click those switches
to select them. Then enter their common web configurator password.
Add
Click
Add
to save your changes to the Switch’s run-time memory. The Switch loses
these changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the
Save
link on the top
navigation panel to save your changes to the non-volatile memory when you are done
configuring.
Cancel
Click
Cancel
to begin configuring this screen afresh.
Refresh
Click
Refresh
to perform
auto-discovery again to list potential cluster members.
The next summary table shows the information for the clustering members configured.
Index
This is the index number of a cluster member switch.
MacAddr
This is the cluster member switch’s hardware MAC address.
Name
This is the cluster member switch’s
System Name
.
Model
This is the cluster member switch’s model name.
Remove
Select this checkbox and then click the
Remove
button to remove a cluster member
switch from the cluster.
