Chapter 1 HGMP V1 Configuration

1.1 HGMP V1 Overview

Huawei group management protocol (HGMP) functions in the following two ways:
Enables management devices to administrate switches in a centralized way.
Operations such as switch registering, software upgrading, configuration querying and
setting, and rebooting can be performed uniformly. It allows switch cascading, that is, a
switch can communicate with the management devices through another switch.
HGMP V1 is implemented by HGMP Server and HGMP Client. An HGMP Server
resides on a management device. It provides a command interface for users and is in
charge of displaying maintenance commands. It also provides specific data structures
to store the information about the Ethernet switches attached to it. HGMP Client
responds to the maintenance and query commands issued by the management device
and operates accordingly. It also maintains the communication with the management
device.
HGMP V1 can be implemented as follows:
Use a H3C S9500 series routing switch as the HGMP Server, with Ethernet
switches attached to it as the HGMP Clients.
Use S2403F or S2008B/S2016B/S2026B/S3026 Ethernet switches as the HGMP
Clients, other switches as the HGMP Servers. Figure 1-1 shows the diagram of a
typical network that employs HGMP V1.in this way.
