Clustering
==========
+The cluster feature allows 2 vyos routers to share IP adresses and various services.
+
VyOS supports multicast clustering.
+.. note::
+ Please follow the process of the cluster function here. https://phabricator.vyos.net/T985
+
+
+General cluster configuration
+-----------------------------
+
+In the general cluster configuration the network interfaces used for monitoring and negotiation of the cluster health is defined.
+Additionally, the communication interval settings, multicast group (for sending/receiving heartbeat messages), and pre-shared secret used in this monitoring is defined.
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ vyos@vyos# set cluster
+ Possible completions:
+ dead-interval Interval after which a node is considered dead after missing heartbeats (milliseconds)
+ +> group Name of resource group for clustering [REQUIRED]
+ + interface Interface(s) for sending/receiving heartbeat packets [REQUIRED]
+ keepalive-interval Time interval between heartbeat packets (milliseconds)
+ mcast-group Multicast group for sending/receiving heartbeat packets
+ monitor-dead-interval Interval after which a monitor node is considered dead (milliseconds)
+ pre-shared-secret Pre-shared secret for authentication between cluster nodes [REQUIRED]
+
+Cluster group configuration
+---------------------------
+
+For the cluster group configuration, the group name must be defined before the groups configuration can be set (See Example below).
+After the group name is defined, the specific service to be clustered between primary and secondary nodes is configured.
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ vyos@vyos# set cluster group GROUPNAME
+ Possible completions:
+ auto-failback Fail back to primary node if it recovers from failure
+ + monitor IP address(es) for monitoring connectivity
+ primary Host name of the primary node [REQUIRED]
+ + secondary Host name(s) of the secondary node(s) [REQUIRED]
+ + service IP address(es) or service name(s) in this resource group [REQUIRED]
+
+Review cluster status
