ES-2000 Series Switch Support Notes
Cluster Management Overview
Cluster Management allows you to manage up to 24 switches through a single IP to manage up to 24 switches simultaneously in the same broadcast domain and the same VLAN group ID. The cluster manager which can manage other switches is called the master device. The other terminology we use for cluster management is “istacking”.
