Configuring the Cluster Configuration and Control Feature
Creating a Cluster Secret 13-5
Select a unit with the highest density port count in the
cluster to be your master, because if you have varying port
density units in your cluster, the number of ports
information to be shared will be the lowest common
denominator. For example, if you have a 2-port unit, and
you share ALL ports configurations and send it to the
cluster containing 48 port units, only ports 1 and 2 will be
shared to the cluster. If to make sure all the ports are
shared, make a 48 port unit the master, then make the
changes, and then share them to the cluster. All 48 ports
will be sent, but ports 1 and 2 will be the only ones looked
at by a 2-port unit.
X To access Cluster Configuration and Control
Type the following command in Configuration
Command Mode:
Example Config:0 >>cluster
Creating a Cluster Secret
The secret allows authorized LX units access to other LX units
with the same secret. The secret should be at least 16
characters long. The maximum is 32 characters. All nodes in the
cluster must be configured with the same secret if they are to
communicate. You must set up the secret individually on each
LX unit.
L Your cluster secret must be kept secret if future
cluster operations are to be performed securely. This
implies that you should configure your cluster secret
locally, or via a secure protocol such as SSH.
X To set up the secret at the Quick Configuration Menu
1. Plug in the terminal at the DIAG port (port 0 - port values
are 9600 bps, eight data bits, one stop bit, no parity, and
Xon/Xoff flow control).
