Configuring a Network Domain 171

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

WX1200# set network-domain peer 192.168.9.254 success: change accepted.

This command is valid on Network Domain seeds only.

Configuring Network In a Network Domain, at least one seed device must be aware of each Domain Members member device. The seed maintains an active TCP connection with the member. To configure a WX switch as a member of a Network Domain,

you specify one or more Network Domain seeds for it to use.

If you specify multiple Network Domain seeds, you can also specify the affinity the WX switch has for each seed. The Network Domain member initially attempts to connect to the seed with which it has the highest affinity. If that seed is unavailable, then the WX switch attempts to connect to the seed with which it has the next-highest affinity. If the member connects to a seed with which it does not have the highest configured affinity, then it periodically attempts to connect to its highest-affinity seed. When the WX switch reconnects to the highest-affinity seed, its communication with the next-highest-affinity seed stops.

Use the following command to set the current WX switch as a member of a Network Domain where a specified WX switch is a seed:

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

You can enter this command multiple times on a WX switch, specifying different Network Domain seeds with different affinity values. The affinity value can range from 1 – 10, with 10 being the highest affinity. The default affinity value is 5.

If the Network Domain seed is also intended to be a member of the

Network Domain, you must also enter this command on the

Network Domain seed itself.

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.
