6.4 Cluster Administration Troubleshooting

When encountering problems in applying the cluster admin, please check the following
possible causes:
If the command switch is correctly configured and the auto adding function (cluster

auto-add) is enabled. If the ports connected the command switch and member switch
belongs to the cluster vlan.
 After cluster commander is enabled in VLAN1 of the command switch, please don't
enable a routing protocol (RIP, OSPF, BGP) in this VLAN in order to prevent the routing
