3.1 Configuring Cluster Multicast MAC Address
3.1.1 Configuring Cluster Multicast MAC Address
After the establishment of the cluster, you can configure the multicast MAC address
which can be learnt by both member and administrative devices for cluster
administration. Member devices can learn the multicast information delivered by the
administrative device, implementing the delivery of multicast information from the
administrative device to the member device. The new multicast MAC address is used
when NDP multicast packets, NDTP multicast packet, and HABP multicast packets are
sent within the cluster, thus avoiding the transmission problem of BPDU packets of the
STP protocol when O/E converter is used.
This configuration procedure only can be used to the administrative device.
Perform the following configuration in cluster view.

time-interval
After configuring the cluster multicast MAC address, if the time interval for sending
multicast packets by the administrative device is 0, the system prompts you to
configure the time interval.
When the time interval is set to 0, the administrative device does not send multicast
packets to the cluster member switches.
