1.3 Configuring the Management Device

1.3.1 Enabling NDP Globally and for Specific Ports
Follow these steps to enable NDP globally and for specific ports:
Enter system view
Enable NDP globally
Enable the
NDP
feature for
the port(s)
Caution:
For NDP to work normally, you must enable NDP both globally and on the specified
port.
If the subtending port or the port connecting the management device to a
member/candidate device is a port of a member in an aggregation group, you must
enable NDP on all member ports of the aggregation group at the same time.
Otherwise, NDP will work abnormally.
You are recommended to disable NDP on the port which connects with the devices
that do not need to join the cluster, preventing the management device from adding
the device which needs not to join the cluster and collecting the topology information
of this device.
