Chapter 5: V-Switch Cluster Configuration 5-5
Configuring a V-Switch Cluster
Setting the V-Switch ID
When you configure a cluster, you must give each V-Switch a different device
ID for proper cluster functioning. Use the CLI command device set to
configure the V-Switch ID for each V-Switch.

Example:
There are two V-Switches in a cluster. In V-Switch 1 the ID is set to 1.
device set –id 1
In V-Switch 2 the ID is set to 0.
device set –id 0
Adding a Neighbor
All CLI names and
aliases are case
sensitive.
When you configure a cluster, you must tell each V-Switch that it has a
neighbor and how to contact its neighbor. Use the CLI command
neighbor add to inform each V-Switch of its neighbor.
You must inform each V-Switch of its neighbor in a cluster. That means
that you must tell V-Switch 1 of V-Switch 2 and V-Switch 2 of V-Switch 1.
When creating a cluster, first ensure that you have configured all IP addresses
in the correct active/inactive phase as well as portals and IP routes on both V-
Switches. For more information on configuring the V-Switch, see Chapter 4 “V-
Switch Configuration”.
