AirLive SNMP-24MGB User’s Manual
The most top-left button is only for Master device. The background color of the button
you press will be changed to represent that the device is under your management.
Note: It will remove the grouping temporarily in case that you login the switch via the
console.
The devices of the group will be shown as station address (the last number of IP
Address) + device name on the button (e.g. 196_SBMP-24MGB), otherwise it will
show ” ---- “ if no corresponding device exists.
Once the devices join the group successfully, then they are merely able to be managed
via Master device, and user will fail to manage them via telnet/console/web individually.
Up to 16 devices can be grouped for VSM, however, only one Master is allowed to
exist in each group. For Master redundancy, user may configure more than two
devices as Master device, however, the Master device with the smaller MAC value will
be the Master one. All of these 16 devices can become Master device and back up
with each other.
