Cluster View and Cluster Builder
Cluster View and Cluster Builder
Cluster View (Figure 2-5) and Cluster Builder (Figure 2-6) are the CMS
applications for displaying, creating, and modifying switch clusters.
To assist in your cluster configuration and monitoring tasks, both applications
provide the following features:
• Cluster View displays a high-level topology where clusters are collapsed and
represented as double-switch icons with links to candidate switches, other
switch clusters, and edge devices.
Cluster Builder displays the topology of a specific switch cluster, where
switches and cluster- and command-capable devices connected to the
command switch display as cluster members or candidates.
The components used in a topology are described in the “Topology” section
on page 2-24.
• A menu bar that provides the options for creating, modifying, monitoring, and
displaying switch clusters. This menu bar is further described in the “Menu
Bar” section on page 2-26.
• A toolbar that provides buttons for displaying commonly used cluster
configuration windows and for displaying the legends and online help. This
toolbar is described in the “Toolbar” section on page 2-27.
• A device-level pop-up menu in Cluster View. This pop-up menu is described
in the “Device Pop-Up Menu” section on page 2-28
• Device- and link-level pop-up menus in Cluster Builder. These pop-up menus
are described in the “Candidate, Member, and Link Pop-Up Menus” section
on page 2-29.
The toolbar and pop-up menus provide quick ways to access the configuration and
monitoring options available from the menu bar.
