Task
Remarks
Enabling NDP globally and on specific ports
Required
Enabling NTDP globally and on a specific port
Required
Enabling the cluster function
Required
Accessing the shared FTP/TFTP server from a member
device
Optional
Note:
To reduce the risk of being attacked by malicious users against opened socket and
enhance switch security, the S5600 series Ethernet switches provide the following
functions, so that a cluster socket is opened only when it is needed:
z
Opening UDP port 40000 (used for cluster) only when the cluster function is
implemented,
z
Closing UDP port 40000 at the same time when the cluster function is closed.
On member devices, the preceding functions are implemented as follows:
z
When you execute the
add-member
command on the management device to add a
candidate device to a cluster, the candidate device changes to a member device
and its UDP port 40000 is opened at the same time.
z
When you execute the
auto-build
command on the management device to have
the system automatically add candidate devices to a cluster, the candidate devices
change to member devices and their UDP port 40000 is opened at the same time.
z
When you execute the
administrator-address
command on a device, the device's
UDP port 40000 is opened at the same time.
z
When you execute the
delete-member
command on the management device to
remove a member device from a cluster, the member device's UDP port 40000 is
closed at the same time.
z
When you execute the
undo build
command on the management device to remove
a cluster, UDP port 40000 of all the member devices in the cluster is closed at the
same time.
z
When you execute the
undo administrator-address
command on a member
device, UDP port 40000 of the member device is closed at the same time.
