The following table describes the labels in this screen.
Table 96 Management > Clustering Management > Configuration
LABEL 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 and a warning icon ( )
appears in the member summary list below.
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 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.
Refresh Click Refresh to perform auto-discovery again to list potential cluster
members.
