cluster-member-custom-cert member-mac <mac> ca-cert <ca> server-cert <cert>
suite-b <gcm-128 | gcm-256>]
Description
This command sets the controller as a control plane security cluster root, and specifies a custom user-installed
certificate for authenticating cluster members.
Syntax
Usage Guidelines
If your network includes multiple master controllers each with their own hierarchy of APs and local controllers,
you can allow APs from one hierarchy to failover to any other hierarchy by defining a cluster of master controllers.
Each cluster has one master controller as its cluster root, and all other master controllers as cluster members.
To define a controller as a cluster root, issue one of the following commands on that controller:
 cluster-member-custom-cert: Define the controller as a cluster root, and select a user-installed certificate to
authenticate that cluster member.
 cluster-member-factory-cert: Define the controller as a cluster root, and select a factory-installed certificate to
authenticate that cluster member.
 cluster-member-ip: Define the controller as a cluster root, and set the IPsec key to authenticate that cluster
member.
Example
The following example selects a customer installed certificate for cluster member authentication.
(host)(config) # cluster-member-custom-cert member-mac 00:1E:37:CB:D4:52 ca-cert
cacert1 server-cert servercert1
Parameter Description
member-mac <mac> MAC address of the cluster-member’s user-installed certificate.
ca-cert <ca> Name of the CA certificate uploaded via the WebUI
server-cert <cert> Name of the server certificate uploaded via the WebUI.
suite-b To use Suite-B encryption in the secure communication between the cluster root and cluster
member, specify one of the following Suite-B algorithms
 gcm-128: Encryption using 128-bit AES-GCM
 gcm-256: Encryption using 256-but AES-GCM
Note: For information on installing certificates on your controller, refer to the Management Utilities chapter of the Dell
