Inband Cluster Management Stack Ports

A common Inband Cluster Management topology is configured between the Layer 2 device’s Ethernet management port to a GigaVUE‑OS node using a stack port configuration.

Two or more GigaVUE‑OS nodes may be directly connected in a one-to-many relationship between physical connections. GigaVUE‑OS nodes may also be indirectly connected if there is a path of stack ports between the nodes.

Note:  Ensure that there is a physical connection between the stack ports of the two nodes that are being added to the Inband cluster.
