z You need to designate the management device first. The management device of a
cluster is the portal of the cluster. That is, any operations performed in external
networks and intended for the member devices of a cluster, such as accessing,
configuring, managing, and monitoring, can only be implemented through the
management device.
z The management device of a cluster recognizes and controls all the member
devices in the cluster, no matter where they are located on the network or how
they are connected.
z The management device collects topology information about all the member and
candidate devices to provide useful information for users to establish a cluster.
z A management device manages and monitors the devices in the cluster by
collecting and processing NDP/NTDP packets. NDP/NTDP packets contain
network topology information.
All the above-mentioned operations need the support of the cluster function.
 Note:
You need to enable the cluster function and configure cluster parameters on a
management device. However, you only need to enable the cluster function on the
member devices and candidate devices.
