To view status and membership data and define a redundancy group configuration, refer to the following:
• Reviewing Redundancy Status
• Configuring Redundancy Group Membership
To configure switch redundancy:
1. Select Services > Redundancy from the main menu tree.
The Redundancy screen displays with the Configuration tab selected.
2. Refer to the Redundancy field to define the following:
Enable Redundancy Select this checkbox to enable/disable clustering. Clustering must
be disabled to set a redundancy related parameter. All the
modifiable values are grayed out if enabled
Redundancy Switch IP Define the destination IP address used to send heartbeats and
update messages.
Mode A member can be in either in Primary or Standby mode. In the
redundancy group, all ‘Active’ members adopt access ports except
the ‘Standby’ members who adopt access ports only when an
‘Active’ member has failed or sees an access-port not adopted by
a switch.
Redundancy ID Define an ID for the cluster group. All the switches configured in
the cluster should have the same Cluster ID. The valid range is
1-65535.
Discovery Period Use the Discovery Period to configure a cluster member
discovery interval. During the discovery time, a switch discovers
the existence of other switches within the redundancy group.
Configure an interval between 10 and 60 seconds. The default
value is 30 seconds.
