170 CHAPTER 9: CONFIGURING NETWORK DOMAINS
For example, the following command sets the current WX switch as a
seed with the Network Domain California:
WX1200# set network-domain mode seed domain-name California
success: change accepted.
If the seed in a Network Domain is also intended to be a member of the
Network Domain, you must enter the following command on the seed,
with the specified IP address pointing to the seed itself.
set network-domain mode member seed-ip ip-addr [affinity num]
For example, the following command sets the current WX switch as a
member of a Network Domain where the WX switch with IP address
192.168.9.254 is a seed:
WX1200# set network-domain mode member seed-ip 192.168.9.254
success: change accepted.
You can configure multiple seeds in a Network Domain. When multiple
Network Domain seeds are configured, a member consults the seed with
which it has the highest configured affinity.
If you are configuring multiple seeds in the same Network Domain (for
example, a seed on each physical site in the Network Domain), you must
establish a peer relationship among the seeds. See the following section.
Specifying Network
Domain Seed Peers
When multiple WX switches are configured as seed devices in a Network
Domain, they establish a peer relationship to share information about the
VLANs configured on the member devices, so that all of the Network
Domain seed peers have the same database of VLAN information.
Sharing information in this way provides redundancy in case one of the
seed peers becomes unavailable.
Use the following command on a Network Domain seed to specify
another seed as a peer:
set network-domain peer ip-addr
You enter this command on all of the seed devices in the Network
Domain, specifying each seed to every other seed, so that all of the
Network Domain seeds are aware of each other.
