170CHAPTER 9: CONFIGURING NETWORK DOMAINS

For example, the following command sets the current WX switch as a seed with the Network Domain California:

WX1200# set network-domain mode seed domain-name California success: change accepted.

If the seed in a Network Domain is also intended to be a member of the Network Domain, you must enter the following command on the seed, with the specified IP address pointing to the seed itself.

set network-domain mode member seed-ip ip-addr[affinity num]

For example, the following command sets the current WX switch as a member of a Network Domain where the WX switch with IP address 192.168.9.254 is a seed:

WX1200# set network-domain mode member seed-ip 192.168.9.254 success: change accepted.

You can configure multiple seeds in a Network Domain. When multiple Network Domain seeds are configured, a member consults the seed with which it has the highest configured affinity.

If you are configuring multiple seeds in the same Network Domain (for example, a seed on each physical site in the Network Domain), you must establish a peer relationship among the seeds. See the following section.

Specifying Network When multiple WX switches are configured as seed devices in a Network Domain Seed Peers Domain, they establish a peer relationship to share information about the

VLANs configured on the member devices, so that all of the Network Domain seed peers have the same database of VLAN information. Sharing information in this way provides redundancy in case one of the seed peers becomes unavailable.

Use the following command on a Network Domain seed to specify another seed as a peer:

set network-domain peer ip-addr

You enter this command on all of the seed devices in the Network Domain, specifying each seed to every other seed, so that all of the Network Domain seeds are aware of each other.
