Abstract
A method for expanding a cluster system is provided. The cluster system includes at least one Cluster Central Chassis (CCC), and a newly-added Cluster Line-card Chassis (CLC) connected with the CCC to form the cluster system. The method includes the following steps. A control plane is established. An equipment management right is switched to the CCC, so that the CCC manages the newly-added CLC. Meanwhile, a cluster line-card device, a cluster central exchange device, and a cluster system are further provided. In implementation, smooth expansion can be achieved without interrupting running equipment services in the CLC current network and without interrupting data services. Moreover, during the expansion process, hardware equipment needs not to be replaced, thus investment of users on the equipment is reduced.
