11 Configuring Clustering Chapter 11

Introduction

Clustering is a way to provide access to the serial ports of many IOLANs through a single IP address.

Clustering Slave List

Overview

The IP address that will be used to access all clustered serial ports will be that of the Master IOLAN in the cluster. All other IOLANs in the cluster will be referred to as Slave IOLANs. Users can also access slave serial ports using EasyPort Web; EasyPort Web is automatically launched when a user types in the IP address of the Master IOLAN in a web browser. If the user has admin privileges, the WebManager will first be displayed with an option to proceed to EasyPort Web.

The Clustering Slave List window displays the slave IOLAN entries and the number of ports on those slave IOLANs.

Note: No special configuration is required on the Slave IOLANs to enable this functionality.

The following buttons are available:

Add Button	Click this button to display a window to configure and add a new Slave
	IOLAN’s configuration to the clustering group.
	See Adding Clustering Slaves on page 292 for more information.
Delete Button	Select a Slave IOLAN and click this button to delete it from the clustering
	group.
Advanced Button	Select a Slave IOLAN and click this button to configure the individual Slave
	IOLAN’s serial ports.
	See Advanced Clustering Slave Options on page 293 for more information.
