Sample cluster configurations

The following example can be used to configure a four-node cluster with ECMP , cluster LA, or Linksets.

Create the cluster.

Log on to first node.
Add the cluster instance.
```
 > add cluster instance 1
```

Add the first node to the cluster.

 > add cluster node 0 10.102.33.184 -backplane 0/1/1

Enable the cluster instance.
```
 > enable cluster instance 1
```

Add the cluster IP address.

 > add ns ip 10.102.33.185 255.255.255.255 -type CLIP

Save the configurations.
```
 > save ns config
```
Warm reboot the appliance.
```
 > reboot -warm
```

Add the other three nodes to the cluster.
- Log on to cluster IP address.
- Add the second node to the cluster.
```
 > add cluster node 1 10.102.33.187 -backplane 1/1/1
```
- Add the third node to the cluster.
```
 > add cluster node 2 10.102.33.188 -backplane 2/1/1
```
- Add the fourth node to the cluster.
```
 > add cluster node 3 10.102.33.189 -backplane 3/1/1
```
Join the added nodes to the cluster. This step is not applicable for the first node.
- Log on to each newly added node.
- Join the node to the cluster.
```
 > join cluster -clip 10.102.33.185 -password nsroot
```
- Save the configuration.
```
 > save ns config
```
- Warm reboot the appliance.
```
 > reboot -warm
```
Configure the Citrix ADC cluster through the cluster IP address.

// Enable load balancing feature
```
    > enable ns feature lb
```
// Add a load balancing virtual server
```
    > add lb vserver first_lbvserver http
    ....
    ....
```
Configure any one of the following (ECMP, cluster LA, or Linkset) traffic distribution mechanisms for the cluster.

ECMP
- Log on to the cluster IP address.
- Enable the OSPF routing protocol.
```
 > enable ns feature ospf
```
- Add a VLAN.
```
 > add vlan 97
```
- Bind the interfaces of the cluster nodes to the VLAN.
```
 > bind vlan 97 -ifnum 0/1/4 1/1/4 2/1/4 3/1/4
```
- Add a spotted SNIP on each node and enable dynamic routing on it.
```
 > add ns ip 1.1.1.10 255.255.255.0 -ownerNode 0 -dynamicRouting ENABLED
 > add ns ip 1.1.1.11 255.255.255.0 -ownerNode 1 -dynamicRouting ENABLED
 > add ns ip 1.1.1.12 255.255.255.0 -ownerNode 2 -dynamicRouting ENABLED
 > add ns ip 1.1.1.13 255.255.255.0 -ownerNode 3 -dynamicRouting ENABLED
```
- Bind one of the SNIP addresses to the VLAN.
```
 > bind vlan 97 -ipAddress 1.1.1.10 255.255.255.0
```
- Configure the routing protocol on ZebOS by using vtysh shell.
  
  Static cluster LA
  - Log on to the cluster IP address.
  - Add a cluster LA channel.
    > add channel CLA/1 -speed 1000
  - Bind the interfaces to the cluster LA channel.
    > bind channel CLA/1 0/1/5 1/1/5 2/1/5 3/1/5
  - Perform equivalent configuration on the switch.
    
    Dynamic cluster LA
    - Log on to the cluster IP address.
    - Add the interfaces to the cluster LA channel.
      > set interface 0/1/5 -lacpmode active -lacpkey 5 -lagtype cluster > set interface 1/1/5 -lacpmode active -lacpkey 5 -lagtype cluster > set interface 2/1/5 -lacpmode active -lacpkey 5 -lagtype cluster > set interface 3/1/5 -lacpmode active -lacpkey 5 -lagtype cluster
    - Perform equivalent configuration on the switch.
    Linksets. Assume that the node with nodeId 3 is not connected to the switch. You must configure a linkset so that the unconnected node can use the other node interfaces to communicate with the switch.
  1. Log on to the cluster IP address.
  2. Add a linkset.
    > add linkset LS/1
  3. Bind the connected interfaces to the linkset.
    > bind linkset LS/1 -ifnum 0/1/6 1/1/6 2/1/6

Update the state of the cluster nodes to ACTIVE.

> set cluster node 0 -state ACTIVE
> set cluster node 1 -state ACTIVE
> set cluster node 2 -state ACTIVE
> set cluster node 3 -state ACTIVE
