Configuring interaction for a cluster

You configure the FTP/TFTP server, NMS and log host settings for the cluster on the cluster management

device.

All cluster members access the FTP/TFTP server through the management device.

All cluster members output their log data to the management device, which converts the IP address
for the log data packets before forwarding the packets to the log host.

All cluster members send their traps to the SNMP NMS through the management device.

To isolate cluster management and control packets from the external networks for security, H3C

recommends you configure the ports connected to the external networks as not allowing the
management VLAN to pass through. If the port connected to the NMS, FTP/TFTP server, or log host is

one of these ports, you must specify a VLAN interface other than the management VLAN interface as the

network management interface for communicating with these devices. Otherwise, communication failure

will occur.
To configure the interaction for the cluster:

Step Command

Remarks

160.

Enter system view.

system-view

N/A

161.

Enter cluster view.

cluster

N/A

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

162.

Configure the FTP server

shared by the cluster.

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

163.

Configure the TFTP server
shared by the cluster.

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

tftp-server ip-address

164.

Configure the log host shared

by the member devices in the
cluster.

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

logging-host ip-address

snmp-host ip-address
[ community-string read string1

write string2 ]

165.

Configure the SNMP NM host
shared by the cluster.

By default, no SNMP host is
configured.

166.

Configure the NM interface of
the management device.

nm-interface vlan-interface
interface-name

Optional.

Configuring the SNMP configuration synchronization function

SNMP configuration synchronization simplifies SNMP configuration in a cluster by enabling the

management device to propagate its SNMP settings to all member devices on a whitelist. These SNMP

settings are retained on the member devices after they are removed from the whitelist or the cluster is

dismissed. For more information about SNMP, see "Configuring SNMP."
