If the subtending port or the port connecting the management device to a
member/candidate device is a port of a member in an aggregation group, you must
enable NDP on all member ports of the aggregation group at the same time.
Otherwise, NDP will work abnormally.
z
You are recommended to disable NDP on the port which connects with the devices
that do not need to join the cluster, preventing the management device from adding
the device which needs not to join the cluster and collecting the topology information
of this device.
