Clustering 
Manager

Active

Select Active to have this Switch become the cluster manager switch. 
A cluster can only have one manager. Other (directly connected) 
switches that are set to be cluster managers will not be visible in the 
Clustering Candidates list. If a switch that was previously a cluster 
member is later set to become a cluster manager, then its Status is 
displayed as Error in the Cluster Management Status screen and a 
warning icon (

) appears in the member summary list below.

Name

Type a name to identify the Clustering Manager. You may use up to 
32 printable characters (spaces are allowed).

VID  

This is the VLAN ID and is only applicable if the Switch is set to 
802.1Q VLAN. All switches must be directly connected and in the 
same VLAN group to belong to the same cluster. Switches that are not 
in the same VLAN group are not visible in the Clustering Candidates 
list. This field is ignored if the Clustering Manager is using Port-
based VLAN.
