Switch Clustering

Cluster IP Pool – An “internal” IP address pool that is used to assign IP addresses
to Member switches in the cluster. Internal cluster IP addresses are in the form
10.x.x.member-ID. Only the base IP address of the pool needs to be set since
Member IDs can only be between 1 and 16. Note that you cannot change the
cluster IP pool when the switch is currently in Commander mode. Commander
mode must first be disabled.
Number of Members – The current number of Member switches in the cluster.
Number of Candidates – The current number of Candidate switches discovered
in the network that are available to become Members.

CLI – This example first enables clustering on the switch, sets the switch as the
cluster Commander, and then configures the cluster IP pool.
