To create a cluster root via the CLI, access the command-line interface of the controller you want to become the
root of the controller cluster, then issue the following command.
(host)(config)# cluster-member-ip <ip-address> ipsec <key>
The <ip-address> parameter is the switch IP address of a member controller in the cluster, and the <key>
parameter in each command is the IPsec key for communication between the specified member controller and
the cluster root. Use the IP address 0.0.0.0 in this command to set a single IPsec key for all member controllers, or
repeat this command as desired to define a different IPsec key for each cluster member.
Creating a Cluster Member
Once you have identified the cluster root, you must then identify the member controllers in the cluster.
To identify a controller as a cluster member via the WebUI:
1. Access the WebUI of the cluster member controller, and navigate to Configuration>Controller.
2. Click the Cluster Setting tab.
3. For the cluster role, select Member.
4. In the Controller IP Address field, enter the IP address of the root controller in the cluster.
5. In the IPSec Key and Retype IPSec Key fields, enter the IPsec key for communication between the specified
member controller and the cluster root. This parameter must be have the same value as the key defined for
the cluster member in “Creating a Cluster Root” on page384.
6. Click Add.
7. Click Apply to save your settings.
To create a cluster root via the CLI, access each of the member master controllers and define the IPsec key for
communication between that controller and the cluster root. Issue the command:
(host)(config)# cluster-root-ip <ip-address> ipsec <key>
In this command the <ip-address> parameter is the IP address of the root master controller in the cluster, and
the <key> parameter in each command is the IPsec pre-shared key for communication between the member and
the cluster root. This parameter must be have the same value as the key defined for the cluster member via the
cluster-member-ip command.
Viewing Controller Cluster Settings
To view your current cluster configuration via the WebUI:
1. Navigate to Configuration>Controller.
2. Click the Cluster Setting tab.
z If you are viewing the WebUI of a cluster root, the output of this command displays the IP address of the
VLAN on the cluster member used to connect to the cluster root.
