LABEL

DESCRIPTION

VID

This is the VLAN ID and is only applicable if the Switch is set to 802.1Q VLAN. All

 

switches must be directly connected and in the same VLAN group to belong to the same

 

cluster. Switches that are not in the same VLAN group are not visible in the Clustering

 

Candidates list. This field is ignored if the Clustering Manager is using Port-based

 

VLAN.

 

 

Apply

Click Apply to save your changes to the Switch’s run-time memory. The Switch loses

 

these changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the Save link on the top

 

navigation panel to save your changes to the non-volatile memory when you are done

 

configuring.

 

 

Cancel

Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh.

 

 

ClusteringThe following fields relate to the switches that are potential cluster members.
Candidate

 

 

 

List

A list of suitable candidates found by auto-discovery is shown here. The switches must

 

be directly connected. Directly connected switches that are set to be cluster managers

 

will not be visible in the Clustering Candidate list. Switches that are not in the same

 

management VLAN group will not be visible in the Clustering Candidate list.

 

 

Password

Each cluster member’s password is its web configurator password. Select a member in

 

the Clustering Candidate list and then enter its web configurator password. If that

 

switch administrator changes the web configurator password afterwards, then it cannot

 

be managed from the Cluster Manager. Its Status is displayed as Error in the

 

Cluster Management Status screen and a warning icon ( ) appears in the member

 

summary list below.

 

If multiple devices have the same password then hold [SHIFT] and click those switches

 

to select them. Then enter their common web configurator password.

 

 

Add

Click Add to save your changes to the Switch’s run-time memory. The Switch loses

 

these changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the Save link on the top

 

navigation panel to save your changes to the non-volatile memory when you are done

 

configuring.
