H3C Technologies H3C MSR 50 - Manual (Page 79)

To configure communication between the management device and the member devices within a cluster:
Step Command Remarks
130. Enter system view. system-view N/A
131. Enter cluster view. cluster N/A
Optional. 132. Configure the interval for
sending handshake packets.
timer interval
The default setting is 10 seconds.
Optional. 133. Configure the holdtime of a
device.
holdtime hold-time
The default setting is 60 seconds.
Configuring cluster management protocol packets
By default, the destination MAC address of cluster management protocol packets (including NDP, NTDP
and HABP packets) is a multicast MAC address 0180-C200-000A, which IEEE reserved for later use.
Since some devices cannot forward the multicast packets with the destination MAC address of
0180-C200-000A, cluster management packets cannot traverse these devices. For a cluster to work
correctly in this case, you can modify the destination MAC address of a cluster management protocol
packet without changing the current networking.
The management device periodically sends MAC address negotiation broadcast packets to advertise the
destination MAC address of the cluster management protocol packets.
When you configure the destination MAC address for cluster management protocol packets:
• If the interval for sending MAC address negotiation broadcast packets is 0, the system
automatically sets it to 1 minute.
• If the interval for sending MAC address negotiation broadcast packets is not 0, the interval remains
unchanged.
To configure the destination MAC address of the cluster management protocol packets:
Step Command Remarks
134. Enter system view. system-view N/A
135. Enter cluster view. cluster N/A
136. Configure the destination
MAC address for cluster
management protocol
packets.
The destination MAC address is
0180-C200-000A by default.
cluster-mac mac-address
137. Configure the interval to send
MAC address negotiation
broadcast packets.
Optional.
cluster-mac syn-interval interval
The default setting is 1 minute.
Cluster member management
You can manually add a candidate device to a cluster, or remove a member device from a cluster.
If a member device needs to be rebooted for software upgrade or configuration update, you can
remotely reboot it through the management device.
