A method of fencing in a cluster system including network devices and a management network device is disclosed. Each network device may run an application program and comprises a fence device. A first network device receives a fence operation command from the management network device. The fence operation command contains information of a target network device and information of a target application. The first network device may determine a fence device on the first network device that corresponds to the fence operation command and activates the determined fence device such that the fence device performs a fence operation on the target application program according to the fence operation command.
