4.1.6 Cluster Setup
This option allows you to setup Cluster function, which can make a group of NEs (network
elements) work together as a single NE from the management point of view. Before you group a
Master and a Slave IPDSLAM, some parameters need to be well configured:
1. Cluster domain name: The group name for a cluster must be the same on Master and Slave.
2. Cluster IP address: IP address to be used for remote management when Master and Slave
are grouped together.
3. NE cluster name: A name to identify Master or Slave.
4. Set private IP address on in-band port for both Master and Slave IPDSLAM. The private IP is
used for communication between Master and Slave. The management center actually uses
Cluster IP address for remote management.
5. Master and Slave need to be configured with same management VLAN.
6. The default gateway should be configured to the router that is aware how to route
management traffic to Management Center of the management network. The setting of
Cluster default gateway should be the same between Master and Slave.
Currently a IDL-2402 cluster can support up to four cluster members (NEs). The IPDSLAMs in a
cluster must all be in-band connected through the GBE port. It uses star topology for conducting a
Clustering Management group.

From the System menu, click on Cluster Setup. The following page is displayed:
By default, the DSLAM is not in a cluster. The state of the Cluster Configuration shows “IDLE” and
the Role shows “Individual”.
