switch only.

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