6.4 Cluster Administration Troubleshooting
When encountering problems in applying the cluster admin, please check the following
possible causes:
 If the command switch is correctly configured and the auto adding function
(cluster auto-add) is enabled. If the ports connected the command switch
and member switch belongs to the cluster vlan.
 After cluster commander is enabled in VLAN1 of the command switch,
please don’t enable a routing protocol (RIP, OSPF, BGP) in this VLAN in
order to prevent the routing protocol from broadcasting the private cluster
addresses in this VLAN to other switches and cause routing loops.
 Whether the connection between the command switch and the member
switch is correct. We can use the debug cluster packets to check if the
command and the member switches can receive and process related cluster
admin packets correctly.
