group are not visible in the Clustering Candidates list. This field is ignored if the
Clustering Manager is using Port-based VLAN.

Clustering Candidate The following fields relate to the switches that are potential cluster members.
List A list of suitable candidates found by auto-discovery is shown here. The switches
must be directly connected. Directly connected switches that are set to be cluster
managers will not be visible in the Clustering Candidate list. Switches that are
not in the same management VLAN group will not be visible in the Clustering
Candidate list.
Password Each cluster member’s password is its web configurator password. Select a
member in the Clustering Candidate list and then enter its web configurator
password. If that switch administrator changes the web configurator password
afterwards, then it cannot be managed from the Cluster Manager. Its Status is
displayed as Error in the Cluster Management Status screen and a warning icon
(

If multiple devices have the same password then hold [SHIFT] and click those
switches to select them. Then enter their common web configurator password.
