This article is for advanced users who has some experience with Vertex controller or E2Dali system and it is a supplementation for Setting up the network article. |

After that you will see all units which you want to configure as groups. Vertex group in netconfig it is NOT the same as vertex group in GUI/Node-RED. You have available 15 Vertex groups in one network, so you can create 15 stand alone Vertex groups. (recommended limit of Vertex controllers in one cluster is 25.)
...
And in the end od network configuration, last step is sending new configuration to Vertexes with CUID (Cluster UID). As you can see, we can choose sending configuration with old CUID or generate new (default). It is important for example when you are replacing one Vertex and dont want to change setup of a network. (generating new CUID for Vertexes causes creating new routing table).
...
For better understanding we can consider all options as examples. We can have:
Vertex controllers in one Vertex group in one cluster in one network
Vertex controllers in different Vertex group in one cluster in one network
Vertex controllers in two Vertex group in different clusters in one network (look at CUID)
Hardware explanation of clusters
You can see below structure diagram of vertex communication in cluster. Prosody XMPP server due to routing table is able to trasmit and receive commands or messages to other prosody XMPP server by ethernet connection.
