Cluster Management
This chapter introduces cluster management.
33.1 Clustering Management Status Overview
Cluster Management allows you to manage switches through one switch, called the cluster
manager. The switches must be directly connected and be in the same VLAN group so as to be
able to communicate with one another.
In the following example, switch A in the basement is the cluster manager and the other
switches on the upper floors of the building are cluster members.
