Cluster Rules
Clusters must adhere to the following rules:
|
Rule |
|
All GigaVUE‑OS nodes in a cluster must run the same version of the GigaVUE‑OS software, including the major and minor version numbers. |
|
Each GigaVUE‑OS node in a given cluster must share the same Cluster ID, Cluster Name, and Cluster Mgmt IP Address. You can configure these settings in the config jump-start script, or, alternatively, use separate cluster commands to set them. When adding a node present on the same IP subnet to an existing cluster, so long as you specify the cluster ID correctly, the cluster Mgmt IP address (VIP) will be synchronized from the leader leader in clustering node relationship (formerly master) automatically. |
|
Cluster management ports must be on the same IP subnet. |
|
Each GigaVUE‑OS node in a cluster must have its own unique box ID. The box ID is assigned to a chassis from the leader with the chassis box-id <box ID> serial-num <serial number> command (). Keep in mind that if you are using GigaSMART trailers to identify ingress ports, only box IDs from 1-64, inclusive, are supported. |
|
You can only connect optical-to-optical stack-links. Stack-links must be at least 10Gb. In addition, they must use the same transceiver types, such as LR-to-LR, or SR-to-SR. |
|
Use a stack-link between different types of GigaVUE‑OS nodes so long as the medium, speed, and number of ports involved is the same on both sides. |
