3Com Switch 4500 Family - Cluster Configuration Commands; Add-Member

1-13
You can use the command on a collecting switch. The delay value you set by the ntdp timer port-delay
command is carried in the topology collection requests sent by the collecting switch, and is used by
collected devices to determine the topology collection request forwarding delay between two ports.
Examples
# Set the port forwarding delay for collected switches to forward NTDP requests to 40 ms.

Cluster Configuration Commands
add-member
Syntax
add-member [ member-number ] mac-address H-H-H [ password password ]
View
Cluster view
Parameters
member-number: Member number assigned to the candidate device to be added to the cluster. This
argument ranges from 1 to 255.
H-H-H: MAC address of the candidate device to be added (in hexadecimal).
password: Super password of the candidate device, a string of 1 to 256 characters. Password
authentication is required when you add a candidate device to a cluster. If the input password is not
consistent with the super password configured on the candidate device (through the super password
command, refer to the CLI part of the manual), you cannot add the candidate device to the cluster. If a
candidate device is not configured with a super password, you can add it to the cluster without providing
the password argument).
Description
Use the add-member command to add a candidate device to the cluster.
You can only use this command on the management device of a cluster.
If you do not specify the member number when adding a new cluster member, the management device
assigns the next available member number to the new member. If you want to specify the member
manually, you need to specify a number that is never used by a member device of the cluster.
After you add a candidate device to the cluster, the super password of the device automatically changes
to the super password of the management device. If the management device changes its super
password, the member devices will automatically synchronize their super passwords to the new super
password of the management device.
Examples
# Add a candidate device, whose MAC address and user password are 000f-e20f-35e7 and 123456
respectively, to the cluster, and set the member number to 6.
