Planning a Community
This section describes the guidelines, requirements, and caveats that you should understand before you create a community.
Candidate and Member Characteristics
Candidates are network devices that have IP addresses but that have not been added to a community. Members are network devices that have been added to a community.
To join a community, a candidate must meet these requirements:
•It has an IP address.
•It has HTTP or HTTPS enabled on the default ports.
Note You cannot add clusters to a community. You can add cluster members individually.
If you add a cluster command device to a community, the other members of the cluster are not added automatically. To manage the cluster members, you must add them individually to the community.
If you add a Catalyst 3750 switch stack master to a community, the individual stack members are automatically added to the community, even though the stack members do not appear in the Modify Community or Discover windows. However, when you connect to the community, the stack members do appear in the Front Panel and Topology views.
