z
Disabling the NDP and NTDP functions on the management device and member devices after a
cluster is created will not cause the cluster to be dismissed, but will influence the normal operation
of the cluster.
z
When both the cluster function and the 802.1X function are enabled on devices, you need to
enable HW Bypass Protocol (HABP) on the devices. Otherwise, the management device of the
cluster cannot manage the devices connected with it. For description of HABP, refer to
HABP
Configuration
.
z
If the routing table of the management device is full when a cluster is established, that is, entries
with the destination address as a candidate device cannot be added to the routing table, all
candidate devices will be added to and removed from the cluster repeatedly.
z
If the routing table of a candidate device is full when the candidate device is added to a cluster, that
is, the entry with the destination address as the management device cannot be added to the routing
table, the candidate device will be added to and removed from the cluster repeatedly.
