To make the DSLAM join a cluster, select the Role as “Cluster” or “Slave only” according to your plan and then click on Modify. The state of the Cluster Configuration will show from DISCOVERING to VOTING to MASTER or SLAVE at last.

The following figure shows the Cluster Setup page of a cluster containing two cluster members. You will see the following page if you’re connecting directly to the Master via its in-band IP address or connecting to the Cluster IP “172.16.77.88”. You can control all the IP DSLAMs in a cluster by connecting to the Cluster IP address, or by directly connecting to the Master IPDSLAM via its in-band IP address that is configured in the Board IP Setup page (refer to section 4.1.2).
