DESCRIPTION
Clustering Manager
Active
Select
Active
to have this Switch become the cluster manager switch. A cluster can only
have one manager. Other (directly connected) switches that are set to be cluster
managers will not be visible in the
Clustering Candidates
list. If a switch that was previously a
cluster member is later set to become a cluster manager, then its
Status
is displayed as
Error
in the
Cluster Management Status
screen and a warning icon (
) appears in the member
summary list below.
Name
Type a name to identify the
Clustering Manager.
You may use up to 32 printable characters
(spaces are allowed).
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.
Clustering
Candidate
The following fields relate to the switches that are potential cluster members.
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.
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
