Clustering
Candidate

The following fields relate to the switches that are potential cluster members.

List A list of suitable candidates found by auto-discovery is shown here. The switches must be

directly connected. Directly connected switches that are set to be cluster managers will not be
visible in the Clustering Candidate list. Switches that are not in the same management
VLAN group will not be visible in the Clustering Candidate list.

Password Each cluster member’s password is its web configurator password. Select a member in the

Clustering Candidate list and then enter its web configurator password. If that switch
administrator changes the web configurator password afterwards, then it cannot be managed
from the Cluster Manager. Its Status is displayed as Error in the Cluster Management
Status
screen and a warning icon (

If multiple devices have the same password then hold [SHIFT] and click those switches to
select them. Then enter their common web configurator password.
