¾  Network Requirements   
Three switches form cluster, one commander switch (Here take TP-LINK TL-SL5428E as an 
example) and two member switches (Here take TP-LINK TL-SG32424P as an example). The 
administrator manages all the switches in the cluster via the commander switch.   
z  Port 1 of the commander switch is connecting to the external network, port 2 is connecting to 
member switch 1 and port 3 is connecting to member switch 2.   
z  IP pool: 175.128.0.1, Mask: 255.255.255.0.
