1.3.5 Manually Collecting NTDP Information

The management device collects topology information periodically after a cluster is

created. In addition, you can configure to manually collect NTDP information to initiate

NTDP information collection, thus managing and monitoring the device on real time,

regardless of whether a cluster is created.

Follow these steps to configure to manually collect NTDP information:

1.3.7 Establishing a Cluster

Before establishing a cluster, you need to configure a private IP address pool for the

devices to be added to the cluster. When a candidate device is added to a cluster, the

management device assigns a private IP address to it for the candidate device to

communicate with other devices in the cluster. This enables you to manage and

maintain member devices in a cluster through the management device.

If the routing table of the management device is full when a cluster is created, that is,

entries with the destination address as a candidate device cannot be added to the

routing table, all candidate devices will be added to and removed from the cluster

If the routing table of a candidate device is full when the candidate device is added

to the cluster, that is, entries with the destination address as the management

device cannot be added to the routing table, the candidate device will be added to

and removed from the cluster repeatedly.
