Apply

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

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.

 

 

Clustering

The 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.
