Management Device Configuration; Enabling Ndp Globally And For Specific Ports - Huawei Quidway S3100 Series Operation Manual

Operation Manual – Stack&Cluster
Quidway S3100 Series Ethernet Switches
You need to designate the management device first. The management device of a
cluster is the portal of the cluster. That is, any operations performed in external
networks and intended for the member devices of a cluster, such as accessing,
configuring, managing, and monitoring, can only be implemented through the
management device.
The management device of a cluster recognizes and controls all the member
devices in the cluster, no matter where they are located on the network or how
they are connected.
The management device collects topology information about all the member and
candidate devices to provide useful information for users to establish a cluster.
A management device manages and monitors the devices in the cluster by
collecting and processing NDP/NTDP packets. NDP/NTDP packets contain
network topology information.
All the above-mentioned operations need the support of the cluster function.
Note:
You need to enable the cluster function and configure cluster parameters on a
management device. However, you only need to enable the cluster function on the
member devices and candidate devices.
