Port Clustering Port Clustering Chapter 13 Introduction Port clustering is the ability to manage many serial ports on one or multiple slave devices from one master device using a single IP address. For instance, the Digi CM can manage up to 16 slave devices or a maximum 816 serial ports with one Master device. Ports can be configured either collectively or individually depending on user preference. Each master and slave device is configured separately; they cannot be configured from one master console.
Configuring Port Clustering Configuring Port Clustering Assigning Master Clustering Mode To assign a Digi CM as the master cluster device, do the following: 1. Access the Digi CM through the web interface. This Digi CM needs to be the unit you want as the Master. 2. Under the Clustering heading, choose Configuration. 3. Choose Master from the drop down menu. Subsequent units will be configured in Slave mode by default. 4. Choose Save & apply.
Port Clustering 4. Select Enable from the Enable/Disable this unit drop down menu. A new configuration screen appears. 5. Enter the IP address of the slave unit in the IP address field.
Configuring Port Clustering 6. Select the Auto Config button and the Master Digi CM automatically imports the configuration of the Slave serial ports to the Master Digi CM. The following figure displays serial port configuration imported from a slave unit. Note: When changing the protocol or authentication on the slave make sure to re-run "auto config" on the master. 7. Choose Save & apply.
Port Clustering 3. Enter the Port access menu Source port number (the port number to access the device.) 4. Enter the Port access menu Destination port number (the physical port number on the Slave unit for the Port access menu.) 5. Select a protocol if appropriate. 6. Click Save to flash. 7. Enable all the ports you wish to use.
Configuring Port Clustering 8. Enter the Base source port number to start the numbering and click Set. 9. Enter the Base destination port number and click Set. Note: The Source ports and Destination ports can be understood as the Destination port number is the actual physical port number on the Slave unit and the Source port number is the extension number of the Slave unit to the Master unit. In other words, the Master device port number 7051 = Slave port device number 7001. 10. Click Save & apply.
Port Clustering Clustering Parameters Below is a list and brief description of clustering parameters: Slave authentication mode - To specify if your database is controlled by the master unit, or locally by the slaves themselves. Connect to slave unit to change configuration - A quick access method to connect to the slave. Enable - This shows whether the port is enabled or disabled. All ports are enabled by default.
Configuring Port Clustering 2. Login and enter your password root dbps 3. Enter the port escape sequence (listed on page). — SSH 1. Click on the port with SSH protocol 2. Login 3. Enter the port escape sequence (listed on the page) Depending on your access rights you can sniff (read only) or monitor (read/ write), or manage power of the ports.
