Port Clustering

Chapter 13 109

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.

Source port - This is the port number that you would access to get to the

slave on the master unit. The first slave port defaults to 7050 for the port

access menu and the port numbers increase according to the number of

ports on the CM.

Destination port - The destination port is the corresponding port number on

the slave unit. On a 32-port slave unit, the destination port numbers range

from 7001 to 7032.

Protocol - The four options are N/A (not available), SSH, Telnet, and

RawTCP.

Base source port -If you choose not to use AutoConfig, you can set these

ports manually. Base source port is the first port number on a master unit.

By default the base source port on the master unit is 7001. The base

source ports extend the master’s ports via the slave ports. For example,

starting the base source port number with 7051 results in a 32-port unit

being numbered from 7051 to 7082. Port number 7050 is the port access

menu of the slave. If you configure the device manually, the port access

menu must also be configured separately.

Base destination port - The physical port numbers of the slave device.

Note: However, you can change the base source port number to another number and

the rest of the ports on the unit will be sequentially numbered from the base

source port.

Accessing the Cluster Ports

You can connect to the slave port using the web, Telnet or SSH client. You

can access the port access menu or custom menu of each slave device or

connect directly to each slave port.

— Web Access

1. Click Clustering > Connection > Port number.

2. Log in to the port

3. Enter the port escape sequence (listed on page)

—Telnet

1. Telnet to the IP and the port number of the device.

telnet 143.191.3.9 7051

1 2 ... 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111 112 113 114 ... 157 158
