Enabling Management Vlan Auto-Negotiation; Configuring Communication Between The Management Device And The Member Devices - H3C S5820X Series Configuration Manual

Enabling Management VLAN Auto-Negotiation

The management VLAN limits the cluster management range. If the device discovered by the
management device does not belong to the management VLAN. If the cascade ports and the
ports connecting with the management device do not allow the packets from the management
VLAN to pass, the new device cannot be added to the cluster. Through the configuration of the
management VLAN auto-negotiation function, the cascade ports and the ports directly
connected to the management device can be automatically added to the management VLAN.
Follow these steps to enable management VLAN auto-negotiation:
To do...
Enter system view
Enter cluster view

Configuring Communication Between the Management Device and the Member
Devices
In a cluster, the management device and member devices communicate with one another by
sending handshake packets to maintain connection between them. You can configure interval of
sending handshake packets and the holdtime of a device on the management device. This
configuration applies to all member devices within the cluster. For a member device in Connect
state:
If the management device does not receive handshake packets from a member device
within the holdtime, it changes the state of the member device to Disconnect. When the
communication is recovered, the member device needs to be re-added to the cluster (this
process is automatically performed).
If the management device receives handshake packets from the member device within the
holdtime, the state of the member device remains Active.
Follow these steps to configure communication between the management device and the
member devices:
