Enabling Clustering

The first step in the process of configuring IOA is to enable clustering in all of the IOA switches.
To enable or disable the IOA cluster on sjc-sw2, perform this task:
Command
Step 1
sjc-sw2# conf t
sjc-sw2(config)#
Step 2
sjc-sw2(config)# feature cluster
sjc-sw2(config)# no feature cluster
To complete the configuration for the reference topology, enable clustering in rtp-sw2.

Enabling the IOA Service

After enabling the IOA cluster, the second step in the process of configuring IOA is to enable the IOA
service on each of the IOA switches.
To enable the IOA service on sjc-sw2, perform this task:
Command
Step 1
sjc-sw2# config t
Step 2
sjc-sw2(config)# feature ioa
sjc-sw2(config)# no feature ioa
To complete the configuration for the reference topology, enable the IOA service in rtp-sw2.

Classifying the Switches to IOA Sites

Each of the IOA switches need to be classified into a site. Make sure that you classify only the IOA
switches within the physical site into an IOA site.
To classify an IOA switch into the SJC site, perform this task:
Command
Step 1
sjc-sw2# config t
sjc-sw2(config)#
Step 2
sjc-sw2(config)# ioa site-local SJC
To complete the configuration for the reference topology, classify rtp-sw2 into RTP site.
