Using Switch Clustering

• A switch cluster has a primary unit called the “Commander” which is used to

manage all other “Member” switches in the cluster. The management station uses
both Telnet and the web interface to communicate directly with the Commander
through its IP address, while the Commander manages Member switches using
the cluster’s “internal” IP addresses.

• Once a switch has been configured to be a cluster Commander, it automatically

discovers other cluster-enabled switches in the network. These “Candidate”
