254CHAPTER 27: CLUSTER CONFIGURATION GUIDE

The network management interface can be configured on the management switch only.

n The network management interface cannot be configured on the Switch 4210.

Cluster Configuration In a complicated network, you can manage switches remotely in a bulk through

in Real Networking Switch Clustering, reducing the workload of the network configuration.

After you build a cluster and enable Switch Clustering on the management switch, and enable NDP and Switch Clustering for the member devices, you can manage the member switches on the management switch.

Requirements

The IP address of the management switch (Switch A) is 10.1.1.17.

Configure the IP address of the TFTP server as 10.1.1.15.

Configure the IP address of the SNMP NMS as 10.1.1.16.

The whole cluster shares the same TFTP server and SNMP NMS.

Management switch Switch A:

Ethernet 1/0/1 belongs to VLAN 2, whose interface IP address is 163.172.55.1.

Two member switches are connected to Ethernet 1/0/1 and Ethernet 1/0/2 of the management switch.
