Configuring network domain members

In a Network Domain, at least one seed device must be aware of each member device. The seed maintains an active TCP
connection with the member. To configure a WSS 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 WSS 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 WSS 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 WSS reconnects to the highest-affinity seed, its communication with the
next-highest-affinity seed stops.
Use the following command to set the current WSS as a member of a Network Domain where a specified WSS is a seed:
set network-domain mode member seed-ip ip-addr [affinity num]
You can enter this command multiple times on a WSS, 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.
For example, the following command sets the current WSS as a member of a Network Domain where the WSS with IP
address 192.168.9.254 is a seed:
WSS# set network-domain mode member seed-ip 192.168.9.254
success: change accepted.
To specify 10.8.107.1 as an additional Network Domain seed for the WSS to connect to if the 192.168.9.254 seed is
unavailable, enter the following command:
WSS# set network-domain mode member seed-ip 10.8.10 7.1 affinity 2
success: change accepted.
Note. 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.
