1.1.1 Introduction to HGMP V2

A cluster is implemented through Huawei group management protocol (HGMP V2). By
employing HGMP V2, a network administrator can manage multiple switches using the
public IP address of a switch known as a management device. The switches under the
management are member devices. The management device, along with the member
devices, forms a cluster. Normally, a public IP address is not assigned to a member
device. Management and maintenance operations intended for the member devices in
a cluster are redirected by the management device.
