create-cluster

This command creates a new device cluster, with the specified name, and assigns it an IP address and routing level.

A cluster (or redundancy group) is a set of controllers, service platforms, or virtual platforms (nodes) uniquely defined by a profile configuration. Within the cluster, members discover and establish connections to other members and provide wireless network self-healing support in the event of member's failure.

A cluster's load balance is typically distributed evenly amongst its members. An administrator needs to define how often the profile is load balanced for radio distribution, as radios can come and go and members join and exit the cluster.

Note

This command and its syntax is common to both the User Executable and Privilege Executable configuration modes.

Supported on the following platforms:

• Service Platforms: NX5500, NX7500, NX9500, NX9600
• Virtual Platforms: CX9000, VX9000

create-cluster name <CLUSTER-NAME> ip <IP> {level [1|2]}
