for the DSLAM to be a master in a cluster. But if there’s already a Master in a cluster, a new
added DSLAM cannot try to be the Master by entering a smaller voting key number; the
Master cannot be changed in this way.
IP
Type in the cluster IP address. Users can connect to and manage the cluster via the cluster
IP address through in-band connection.
Netmask Type in the cluster’s subnet mask.
Gateway Type in the cluster’s gateway IP address.
ID This field shows Cluster ID, which indicates cluster ordering.
Modify Click on this button to submit the modification.
Query Click on this button to query current status.
To control a member in the cluster:
Select a Cluster member from the drop down list above the menu tree. Then you are controlling
that NE now.
Every time you modify the setting (for example, changing the Role) of any cluster member, the
cluster will be reconstructed (cluster state Discovering
Æ Voting Æ Master or Slave).
If you modify the Role to “Individual”, Cluster State will show ‘IDLE’. The DSLAM is not in a cluster
now.
If you are directly connecting to a Slave in the cluster (connecting via its in-band IP address) you
cannot switch to any other member in the cluster.
