LABEL DESCRIPTION
VID This is the VLAN ID and is only applicable if the switch is set to 802.1Q VLAN. All switches
must be directly connected and in the same VLAN group to belong to the same cluster.
Switches that are not in the same VLAN group are not visible in the Clustering Candidates
list. This field is ignored if the Clustering Manager is using Port-based VLAN.
Apply Click Apply to save these changes to the switch.
Cancel Click Cancel to begin configuring this part of the screen afresh.
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 (
) appears in the member summary list
below.
If multiple devices have the same password then hold [SHIFT] and click those switches to
select them. Then enter their common web configurator password.
