13.3 Cluster

A commander switch can recognize and add the candidate switch to a cluster automatically based
on NDP and NTDP. You can manually add the candidate switch to a cluster. If the candidate switch
is successfully added to the cluster, it will get a private IP address assigned by the commander
switch. You can manage and configure the member switch via the commander switch.

The Cluster function can be implemented on Cluster Summary, Cluster Config, Member Config
and Cluster Topology pages.
