Switch Clustering
◆
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.
