Each cluster has one (and only one) management device. A management device
collects NDP/NTDP information to discover and determine candidate devices,
which can be then added into the cluster through manual configurations.
A candidate device becomes a member device after being added to a cluster.
A member device becomes a candidate device after being removed from the
cluster.
