Port Clustering
Chapter 13
Introduction
P o r t C l u s t e r i n g
Port clustering is the ability to manage many serial ports on one or multiple slave devices from one master device using a single IP address. For instance, the Digi CM can manage up to 16 slave devices or a maximum 816 serial ports with one Master device. Ports can be configured either collectively or individually depending on user preference. Each master and slave device is configured separately; they cannot be configured from one master console.
A secondary IP address can be specified to put all slaves on a private network. The secondary IP option can be found under Network
To set up the Digi CM for port clustering you will need to:
•Configure all Digi CM serial ports
•Assign one Digi CM as the master clustering device; all other Digi CMs default to slave devices.
•Import slave configuration to the Digi CM master device
