Configuration Synchronization

After a cluster is created and configured with basic functions, you can save the configuration
files of the cluster members to a specified FTP server through the configuration synchronization
command.

Security Features

After a cluster is created and configured with basic functions, you can close the network edge
of the cluster as required and then the topology of the cluster becomes stable. When plug and
play is enabled and the PAF is used to control devices configured with HGMP functions to
automatically enable NDP and NTDP on Layer 2 interfaces, a great number of Layer 2 interfaces
are automatically enabled with NDP and NTDP on member switches. NDP and NTDP, however,
are not required on interfaces unrelated to the cluster. Therefore, you need to disable NDP or
NTDP on unrelated interfaces. As a result, less packets are transmitted and the topology of the
cluster is stable.

Plug and Play

Before a device joins a cluster, you need to configure the device manually. When a great number
of devices need to be added to a cluster, you can use plug and play to simplify the process. You
can use the PAF to control the performance of basic configuration on devices. Then, connect
devices to the cluster devices physically. After that, the devices can be added to the cluster
automatically.

After incremental configuration is performed, a result list is returned to report the command
output on each member switch. If an error occurs during the command execution, the faulty
command can be located according to the sequence number.
Latter execution results of the incremental configuration overwrite previous ones and only
the last result is saved.
You can edit a configuration command list in the incremental configuration view. The
command execution is closely related to specific views and its sequence is the same as that
on a device.
To perform configuration synchronization, you need to specify an FTP server in advance.
On the administrator switch, disable NDP or NDTP on unrelated interfaces in the cluster.
After you disable NDP on unrelated interfaces in the cluster, NDP packets of the interfaces
are not sent to the administrator switch.
After you disable NTDP on unrelated interfaces in the cluster, NTDP packets of the
interfaces are not sent to the administrator switch.
When the topology of the cluster becomes stable, the unrelated interfaces in the cluster are
defined as interfaces that have not NDP neighbors.
Plug and play uses the PAF to control the performance of basic configuration on devices.
Plug and play needs to be enabled on the administrator switch.
The interfaces connecting the administrator switch and the member switches need to be
added to a control VLAN in trunk mode.
The interval for collecting NTDP packets needs to be set on the administrator switch.
