CHAPTER 43
Cluster Management
43.1 Cluster Management Overview
This chapter introduces cluster management.
Cluster Management allows you to manage switches through one Switch, called the cluster
manager. The switches must be directly connected and be in the same VLAN group so as to be able
to communicate with one another.
In the following example, switch A in the basement is the cluster manager and the other switches
on the upper floors of the building are cluster members.
