Switch Clustering
– 822 –
IP subnets in the network. Cluster IP addresses are assigned to
switches when they become Members and are used for communication
between Member switches and the Commander.
◆ Switch clusters are limited to the same Ethernet broadcast domain.
◆ There can be up to 100 candidates and 36 member switches in one
cluster.
◆ A switch can only be a Member of one cluster.
◆ Configured switch clusters are maintained across power resets and
network changes.

◆ Once a switch has been configured to be a cluster Commander, it
automatically discovers other cluster-enabled switches in the network.
These “Candidate” switches only become cluster Members when
manually selected by the administrator through the management
station.
◆ Cluster Member switches can be managed through a Telnet connection
to the Commander. From the Commander CLI prompt, use the
rcommand id command to connect to the Member switch.
