CAUTION:
• Disabling the NDP and NTDP functions on the management switch and member switches after a cluster
is created will not cause the cluster to be dismissed, but will influence the normal operation of the cluster.
• In a cluster, if a member switch enabled with the 802.1X or MAC address authentication function has
other member switches connected to it, you must enable HW Authentication Bypass Protocol (HABP)
server on the switch. Otherwise, the management switch of the cluster cannot manage the switches
connected with it. For more information about the HABP, see
Security Configuration Guide
.
• If the routing table of the management switch is full when a cluster is established, that is, entries with the
destination address as a candidate switch cannot be added to the routing table, all candidate switches
will be added to and removed from the cluster repeatedly.
• If the routing table of a candidate switch is full when the candidate switch is added to a cluster, that is,
the entry with the destination address as the management switch
cannot be added to the routin
table,
the candidate switch will be added to and removed from the cluster repeatedly.
