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-basedVLAN.

 

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

 

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.
