920 CHAPTER 73: CLUSTER MANAGEMENT CONFIGURATION
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.
■ 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.
■ 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.
■ 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.
To do…  Use the command…  Remarks 
Enter system view  system-view - 
Enter cluster view  cluster - 
Add a device to the blacklist  black-list add-mac mac-address Optional 
Remove a device from the 
blacklist 
black-list delete-mac { all | 
mac-address } 
Optional 
Confirm the current topology 
and save it as the standard 
topology 
topology accept { all [ save-to 
{ ftp-server | local-flash }] | 
mac-address mac-address | 
member-id member-number } 
Optional 
Save the standard topology to 
the FTP server or the local 
Flash 
topology save-to { ftp-server | 
local-flash } 
Optional 
Restore the standard 
topology information from 
the FTP server or the local 
Flash 
topology restore-from 
{ ftp-server | local-flash } 
Optional
You must ensure that 
the topology is correct 
before restoring it as the 
device itself cannot 
judge the correctness in 
topology.
To do…  Use the command…  Remarks

Configure the FTP server 
shared by the cluster by 
setting an IP address, 
username and password 
ftp-server ip-address 
[ user-name username 
password { simple | cipher } 
password ] 
Required
By default, no FTP server is 
configured for a cluster.
