1.1 Cluster Overview
1.1.1 Introduction to HGMP V2
A cluster is implemented through HGMP V2. By employing huawei group management
protocol (HGMP V2), a network administrator can manage multiple switches using the
public IP address of a switch known as a management device. The switches under the
management of the management device are member devices. The management
device, along with the member devices, forms a cluster. Normally, a cluster member
device is not assigned a public IP address. Management and maintenance operations
intended for the member devices in a cluster are redirected by the management device.
Figure 1-1illustrates a typical cluster implementation.

HGMP V2 offers the following advantages:
z The procedures to configure multiple switches remarkably simplified. When the
management device is assigned a public IP address, you can configure/manage a
specific member device on the management device instead of logging into it in
advance.
z Functions of topology discovery and display provided, which assist network
monitoring and debugging
