Switch clustering is a method of grouping switches together to enable

clustering can be grouped together regardless of physical location or switch
type, as long as they are connected to the same local network.

A switch cluster has a primary unit called the "Commander" which is
◆
used to manage all other "Member" switches in the cluster. The
management station can use either Telnet or the web interface to
communicate directly with the Commander through its IP address, and
then use the Commander to manage Member switches through the
cluster's "internal" IP addresses.
Clustered switches must be in the same Ethernet broadcast domain. In
◆
other words, clustering only functions for switches which can pass
