NOTE
For convenience, only four devices in the Layer 2 network are described.

Configuration Roadmap
The configuration roadmap is as follows:
1. Create a management VLAN on all devices. Enable NDP and NTDP to ensure that each
device can detect the topology structure of the network through NTDP.
2. Choose the administrator switch, and then create a cluster named HUAWEI on the
administrator switch.
3. Add all the devices that support HGMP in the Layer 2 network to the cluster.
4. Assign an IP address to VLANIF 10 to facilitate the communication between member
switches in the cluster and devices out of the cluster.
5. Configure public servers and hosts for the cluster.
Data Preparation
To complete the configuration, you need the following data:
l Management VLAN ID of the cluster, that is 10
l IP address of VLANIF 10, that is 1.0.0.1/8
l Address pool of the cluster, that is 10.0.0.0/8
l IP address of the administrator in the cluster, that is 10.0.0.1/8
l MAC addresses of devices, as shown in Figure 3-3
l IP addresses of servers and hosts, as shown in Figure 3-3
