cluster-member-ip
cluster-member-ip <ip-address>
ipsec <key>
Description
This command sets the controller as a control plane security cluster root, and specifies the IPsec key for a cluster
member.
Syntax
Parameter
<ip-address>
ipsec <key>
Usage Guidelines
If your network includes multiple master controllers each with their own hierarchy of APs and local controllers, you
can allow APs from one hierarchy to failover to any other hierarchy by defining a cluster of master controllers. Each
cluster will have one master controller as its cluster root, and all other master controllers as cluster members.
The master controller operating as the cluster root will use the control plane security feature to create a self-signed
certificate, then certify it's own local controllers and APs. Next, the cluster root will send the certificate to each
cluster member, which in turn certifies their own local controllers and APs. Since all controllers and APs in the
cluster get their certificates from the cluster root, they will all have the same trust anchor, and the APs can switch to
any other controller in the cluster and still remain connected to the secure network.
Issue the cluster-member-ip
for secure communication between the cluster root and each cluster member. Use the IP address 0.0.0.0 in this
command to set a single IPsec key for all member controllers, or repeat this command as desired to define a different
IPsec key for each cluster member.
Once the cluster root has defined an IPsec key for all cluster members, you must access each of the member
controllers and issue the command
Example
The following command sets the controller on which you issue command as a root controller, and adds the
controller172.21.18.18 as a cluster member with the IPsec key ipseckey1:
(host) (config) #cluster-member-ip 172.21.18.18 ipsec ipseckey1
