Configuring Interaction for a Cluster

After establishing a cluster, you can configure FTP/TFTP server, NM host and log host for the cluster on

the management device.

z

After you configure an FTP/TFTP server for a cluster, the members in the cluster access the

FTP/TFTP server configured through the management device.

z

After you configure a log host for a cluster, all the log information of the members in the cluster will

be output to the configured log host in the following way: first, the member devices send their log

information to the management device, which then converts the addresses of log information and

sends them to the log host.

z

After you configure an NM host for a cluster, the member devices in the cluster send their Trap

messages to the shared SNMP NM host through the management device.

If the port of an access NM device (including FTP/TFTP server, NM host and log host) does not allow

the packets from the management VLAN to pass, the NM device cannot manage the devices in a

cluster through the management device. In this case, on the management device, you need to

configure the VLAN interface of the access NM device (including FTP/TFTP server, NM host and log

host) as the NM interface.

Follow these steps to configure the interaction for a cluster:

Configure the FTP server
shared by the cluster

ftp-server ip-address
[ user-name username
password { simple | cipher }
password ]

Required

By default, no FTP server is
configured for a cluster.

Configure the TFTP server
shared by the cluster

tftp-server ip-address

Required

By default, no TFTP server is
configured for a cluster.

Configure the log host shared
by the member devices in the
cluster

logging-host ip-address

Required

By default, no log host is
configured for a cluster.

Configure the SNMP NM host
shared by the cluster

snmp-host ip-address
[ community-string read
string1 write string2 ]

Required

By default, no SNMP host is
configured.

Configure the NM interface of
the management device

nm-interface vlan-interface
interface-name

Optional

To isolate management protocol packets of a cluster from packets outside the cluster, you are

recommended to configure to prohibit packets from the management VLAN from passing the ports that

connect the management device with the devices outside the cluster and configure the NM interface for

the management device.
