Chapter 1 What I Network Assistant? - Cisco Network Assistant Getting Started Manual

If a community member fails, Network Assistant can continue to manage the other members. If a
•
cluster command device fails, Network Assistant cannot manage the other members of the cluster
unless a cluster standby device has been configured.
Communities have fewer restrictions than clusters about where members are located and how they
•
are connected to each other. For more information on cluster member restrictions, see the online
