Cluster Profiles
Configuration > Networking > Cluster Profiles
On this tab you can view all cluster profiles that you have configured. Cluster profiles allow you to manage multiple EdgeConnect appliances as a cluster and orchestrate flow redirection within a cluster. A cluster profile contains configuration settings that are applied to a cluster. Each peer in a cluster then inherits those same settings. For more information on clusters see, Clusters. Cluster profiles also do the following:
-
Synchronizes user role information between cluster peers.
-
Synchronizes bandwidth availability between two EdgeHA appliances.
Orchestrator comes with a built-in cluster profile called “Profile [EdgeHA]” and all EdgeHA appliances are automatically configured using this profile. Flow redirection is disabled for this profile because EdgeHA does not support Active/Active deployments.
The following table describes the information displayed on the Cluster Profiles tab for each cluster profile.
Field | Description |
---|---|
Name | The name of the cluster profile. |
Interface/label | The interface label that is used for inter-cluster synchronization when this cluster profile is applied to a cluster. |
Flow redirection | Indicates if flow redirection is enabled or disabled for the cluster profile. |
Wait time | Indicates how long the system waits for an update from other cluster peers before redirecting a flow when this cluster profile is applied to a cluster. |
User session sync | Indicates if user session synchronization is enabled or disabled for the cluster profile. |
Secure | Indicates if encrypted control messages are enabled for the cluster profile. |
Create a Cluster Profile
-
From the Cluster Profiles tab, click +Add.
The Cluster Profile dialog box opens.
-
Enter the following details for the cluster profile.
Field Description Name Enter a name for the cluster profile. Interface/label Select a LAN-side label to use for inter-cluster synchronization. This interface is used for flow redirection and user session synchronization within a cluster. It is recommended to create a LAN-side label for this purpose, such as a label called “CLUSTER”. Flow redirection Click to enable flow redirection for peers in a cluster. Wait time Enter a value in milliseconds. This is used in conjunction with flow redirection to control how long the system waits for an update from other cluster peers before redirecting a flow. User session sync Click to enable user session synchronization between cluster peers. This synchronizes user role information between peers in a cluster. Secure Click to enable encrypted control messages between cluster peers. -
Click Save.
