Join a Cluster

In order for a node to join a cluster, the cluster must already be configured using steps described in Configuring a Cluster. Follow these steps to join a cluster:

  1. Log into the Administration Dashboard of the node server you want to add to the cluster.

  2. Navigate to the Settings > Join Cluster.

  3. Enter the necessary settings for Cluster Host, Bind Address, Username, and Password.

Cluster Host

 The host name or IPv4 address of the master server in the cluster you are joining.

Bind Addres:

The IPv4 address of the node you are adding to the cluster.

Username

The user name for the master server you are joining. The default is admin.

Password

The password for the master server you are joining. The default is adtran.

These credentials are the same as the login information for the Administration Dashboard login.

 

  1. Select Find Cluster to locate the cluster. If the search is successful, the Node Name field displays at the bottom of the Join Cluster dialog box. The field is blank and you will enter the name in the next step.

  2. Enter a name for the node you are adding to the cluster. Use a unique name to identify it from other nodes. Select Join Cluster to save the configuration and restart the application. This may take a few minutes to complete. Once finished, the node will be successfully added to the cluster.

Repeat these steps for any additional nodes that need to be added to the cluster, supplying a unique name for each.
