HGMP V2 provides the following functions:
z Topology discovery: HGMP V2 implements NDP (neighbor discovery protocol) to
discover the information about the directly connected neighbor devices, including
device type, software/hardware version, connecting port and so on. The
information such as device ID, port mode (duplex or half duplex), product version,
and BootROM version can also be given.
z Topology information collection: HGMP V2 implements NTDP (neighbor topology
discovery protocol) to collect the information about device connections and
candidate devices within a specified hop range.
z Member recognition: A management device can locate and recognize the member
devices in the cluster and then deliver configuration and management commands
to them.
z Member management: You can add a device to a cluster or remove a device from
a cluster on the management device. You can also configure management device
authentication and handshake interval for a member device on the management
device.
Cluster-related configurations are described in the following sections.
2.1.2 Cluster Roles
According to their functions and status in a cluster, switches in the cluster play different
roles. You can specify the role a switch plays. A switch also changes its role according
to specific rules.
Following three cluster roles exist: management device, member device, and
candidate device.
