DESCRIPTION

Clustering
Manager

Active

Select Active to have this Switch become the cluster manager switch.
A cluster can only have one manager. Other (directly connected)
switches that are set to be cluster managers will not be visible in the
Clustering Candidates list. If a switch that was previously a cluster
member is later set to become a cluster manager, then its Status is
displayed as Error in the Cluster Management Status screen and a
warning icon (

) appears in the member summary list below.

Name

Type a name to identify the Clustering Manager. You may use up to
32 printable characters (spaces are allowed).

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.
