Accton Technology ES3552XA, ES3526XA manual Cluster Member Configuration, 249, 250

Switch Clustering 3

•Role – Indicates the current role of the switch in the cluster; either Commander, Member, or Candidate.

•Cluster IP Pool – An “internal” IP address pool that is used to assign IP addresses to Member switches in the cluster. Internal cluster IP addresses are in the form 10.x.x.member-ID. Only the base IP address of the pool needs to be set since Member IDs can only be between 1 and 36. Note that you cannot change the cluster IP pool when the switch is currently in Commander mode. Commander mode must first be disabled.

•Number of Members – The current number of Member switches in the cluster.

•Number of Candidates – The current number of Candidate switches discovered in the network that are available to become Members.
