Port Clustering

Clustering Parameters

Below is a list and brief description of clustering parameters:

Slave authentication mode - To specify if your database is controlled by the master unit, or locally by the slaves themselves.

Connect to slave unit to change configuration - A quick access method to

connect to the slave.

Enable - This shows whether the port is enabled or disabled. All ports are enabled by default.

Source port - This is the port number that you would access to get to the slave on the master unit. The first slave port defaults to 7050 for the port access menu and the port numbers increase according to the number of ports on the CM.

Destination port - The destination port is the corresponding port number on the slave unit. On a 32-port slave unit, the destination port numbers range from 7001 to 7032.

Protocol - The four options are N/A (not available), SSH, Telnet, and RawTCP.

Base source port -If you choose not to use AutoConfig, you can set these ports manually. Base source port is the first port number on a master unit. By default the base source port on the master unit is 7001. The base source ports extend the master’s ports via the slave ports. For example, starting the base source port number with 7051 results in a 32-port unit being numbered from 7051 to 7082. Port number 7050 is the port access menu of the slave. If you configure the device manually, the port access menu must also be configured separately.

Base destination port - The physical port numbers of the slave device.

Note: However, you can change the base source port number to another number and the rest of the ports on the unit will be sequentially numbered from the base source port.

Accessing the Cluster Ports

You can connect to the slave port using the web, Telnet or SSH client. You can access the port access menu or custom menu of each slave device or connect directly to each slave port.
