Port Clustering
Chapter 13 109
Clustering Parameters
Below is a list and brief description of clustering parameters:
Slave authentication mode - To specify if your database is controlled by the
master unit, or locally by the slaves themselves.
Connect to slave unit to change configuration - A quick access method to
connect to the slave.
Enable - This shows whether the port is enabled or disabled. All ports are
enabled by default.
Source port - This is the port number that you would access to get to the
slave on the master unit. The first slave port defaults to 7050 for the port
access menu and the port numbers increase according to the number of
ports on the CM.
Destination port - The destination port is the corresponding port number on
the slave unit. On a 32-port slave unit, the destination port numbers range
from 7001 to 7032.
Protocol - The four options are N/A (not available), SSH, Telnet, and
RawTCP.
Base source port - If you choose not to use AutoConfig, you can set these
ports manually. Base source port is the first port number on a master unit.
By default the base source port on the master unit is 7001. The base
source ports extend the master’s ports via the slave ports. For example,
starting the base source port number with 7051 results in a 32-port unit
being numbered from 7051 to 7082. Port number 7050 is the port access
menu of the slave. If you configure the device manually, the port access
menu must also be configured separately.
Base destination port - The physical port numbers of the slave device.
Note: However, you can change the base source port number to another number and
the rest of the ports on the unit will be sequentially numbered from the base
source port.
Accessing the Cluster Ports
You can connect to the slave port using the web, Telnet or SSH client. You
can access the port access menu or custom menu of each slave device or
connect directly to each slave port.
— Web Access
1. Click Clustering > Connection > Port number.
2. Log in to the port
3. Enter the port escape sequence (listed on page)
— Telnet
1. Telnet to the IP and the port number of the device.
telnet 143.191.3.9 7051
