2.3 Configure NTDP

2.3.1 NTDP Overview

Neighbor Topology Discovery Protocol (NTDP) is a protocol for network topology
information collection. NTDP provides the information of available devices to join the
cluster and collects the information about switches within the specified hops for the
cluster management.
According to the adjacent table information provided by NDP, NTDP transmits and
forwards NTDP topology collection request to collect NDP information and neighboring
connection information of every device in a certain network. After collecting the
information, the administrator device or the network administrator can perform some
functions accordingly.
When the NDP on the member device finds changes of neighbor, it will advertise the
changes to the administrator device by handshake message. The administrator device
can run NTDP to collect the specified topology and show the network topology changes
in time.
NTDP configuration includes:
Enable/Disable Global NTDP
Enable/Disable NTDP on a Port
Set hop number for topology collection.
Set delay for collected device to forward topology collection request
Set delay for collected port to forward topology collection request
Set topology collection interval
