Switch Clustering
– 407 –
PARAMETERS
These parameters are displayed:
◆ Cluster Status – Enables or disables clustering on the switch.
(Default: Disabled)
◆ Commander Status – Enables or disables the switch as a cluster
Commander. (Default: Disabled)
◆ IP Pool – An “internal” IP address pool that is used to assign IP
addresses to Member switches in the cluster. Internal cluster IP
addresses are in the form 10.x.x.member-ID. Only the base IP address
of the pool needs to be set since Member IDs can only be between 1
and 36. Note that you cannot change the cluster IP pool when the
switch is currently in Commander mode. Commander mode must first
be disabled. (Default: 10.254.254.1)
◆ Role – Indicates the current role of the switch in the cluster; either
Commander, Member, or Candidate. (Default: Candidate)
◆ Number of Members – The current number of Member switches in the
cluster.
◆ Number of Candidates – The current number of Candidate switches
discovered in the network that are available to become Members.
