1.1.2 ndp enable

Syntax

ndp enable [ interface port-list ]

undo ndp enable [ interface port-list ]

View

System view, Ethernet port view

Parameter

Description

In system view:

Use the ndp enable command to enable NDP globally.

Use the undo ndp enable command to disable NDP globally.

When you execute the ndp enable command in system view without the interface keyword, NDP is enabled globally; when you do this with the interface keyword, NDP is enabled on specified ports.

In Ethernet port view:

Use the ndp enable command to enable NDP on the current port.

Use the undo ndp enable command to disable NDP on the port.

When using this command in Ethernet port view, you are not allowed to input the interface keyword and NDP is enabled on the current port only.

By default, NDP is enabled both globally and on ports.

Note that, unless NDP is enabled globally, it does not take effect on a port even when it is enabled on the port.

Example

# Enable NDP globally.

1.1.3 ndp timer aging

Syntax

ndp timer aging aging-in-seconds

undo ndp timer aging

View

System view

Parameter

aging-in-seconds: Holdtime of the NDP information sent by this device, ranging from 5 to 255 seconds.

Description

Use the ndp timer aging command to set the holdtime of the NDP information sent by this switch. This command specifies how long receiving devices should hold the NDP neighbor information received from this device before discarding the information.

Use the undo timer aging command to restore the default holdtime of NDP information.

By default, the holdtime of NDP information is 180 seconds.

You can specify how long the adjacent devices should hold the NDP information received from this device. When an adjacent device receives a NDP packet from this device, it learns how long it should keep the NDP information of this device according to the holdtime carried in the NDP packet, and discards the NDP information when the holdtime expires.

Note that NDP information holdtime should be longer than the interval to send NDP packets. Otherwise, NDP port neighbor table will become unstable.

Example

# Set the holdtime of the NDP information sent by this switch to 60 seconds.

1.2.4 ntdp explore

Syntax

ntdp explore

View

User view

Parameter

None

Description

Use the ntdp explore command to manually start a topology collection process.

NTDP is able to periodically collect topology information. In addition, you can use this command to manually start a topology collection process at any moment. If you do this, NTDP collects NDP information from all devices in a specific network range as well as the connection information of all its neighbors. Through this information, the management device or the network management software knows the topology in the network range, and thus it can manage and monitor the devices in the range.

Example

# Start a topology collection process.

<H3C> ntdp explore

1.2.5 ntdp hop

Syntax

ntdp hop hop-value

undo ntdp hop

View

System view

Parameter

hop-value: Maximum hops to collect topology information, ranging from 1 to 16.

Description

Use the ntdp hop command to set the topology collection range.

Use the undo ntdp hop command to restore the default topology collection range.

By default, the topology collection range is three hops.

With the ntdp hop command, you can specify to collect topology information from the devices within a specified range to avoid infinite collection. That is, you can limit the range of topology collection by setting the maximum hops from the collecting device to the collected devices. For example, if you set the maximum hops to two, the switch initiating the topology collection collects topology information from the switches within two hops.

Note that this command is only applicable to topology-collecting device, and a wider collection range requires more memory of the topology-collecting device.

Example

# Set the topology collection range to 5 hops.

<aaa_0.H3C> system-view

System View: return to User View with Ctrl+Z.

[aaa_0.H3C] ntdp hop 5

1.2.6 ntdp timer

Syntax

ntdp timer interval-in-minutes

undo ntdp timer

View

System view

Parameter

interval-in-minutes: Interval (in minutes) to collect topology information, ranging from 0 to 65,535. Value 0 of this argument specifies not to perform periodic topology collection.

Description

Use the ntdp timer command to configure the interval to collect topology information periodically.

Use the undo ntdp timer command to restore the default interval.

By default, this interval is one minute.

After the interval is set to a non-zero value, the switch will collect topology information periodically at this interval.

Note that:

l If the display ntdp command displays "disable" in the Timer field, it means this device is not a management device and will not perform periodic topology collection.

l After a cluster is set up on an S3600 series switch, the switch will collect the topology information of the network at the topology collection interval you set and automatically add the candidate devices it discovers into the cluster.

l If you do not want the candidate switches to be automatically added into the cluster, you can set the topology collection interval to zero.

Example

# Set the topology collection interval to 30 minutes.

<aaa_0.H3C> system-view

System View: return to User View with Ctrl+Z.

[aaa_0.H3C] ntdp timer 30

1.2.7 ntdp timer hop-delay

Syntax

ntdp timer hop-delay time

undo ntdp timer hop-delay

View

System view

Parameter

time: Device forward delay in milliseconds. This argument ranges from 1 to 1,000.

Description

Use the ntdp timer hop-delay command to set the delay for collected devices to forward topology collection requests through their first port.

Use the undo ntdp timer hop-delay command to restore the default device forward delay.

By default, the device forward delay is 200 ms.

Network congestion may occur if large amount of topology response packets reach the collecting device in a short period. To avoid this case, each collected switch in the network delays for a period before it forwards a received topology collection request through the first forwarding port. You can use the ntdp timer hop-delay command to set the delay.

You can use the command on a collecting switch. The delay value you set by the ntdp timer hop-delay command is carried in the topology collection requests sent by the collecting switch, and is used by collected devices to determine how long they should wait before they can forward the received topology collection requests through their first port.

Example

# Set the delay for collected switches to forward topology collection requests through their first port to 300 ms.

<aaa_0.H3C> system-view

System View: return to User View with Ctrl+Z.

[aaa_0.H3C] ntdp timer hop-delay 300

1.2.8 ntdp timer port-delay

Syntax

ntdp timer port-delay time

undo ntdp timer port-delay

View

System view

Parameter

time: Port forward delay in milliseconds. This argument ranges from 1 to 100.

Description

Use the ntdp timer port-delay command to set the delay for collected switches to forward topology collection requests through the next port.

Use the undo ntdp timer port-delay command to restore the default port forward delay.

By default, the port forward delay is 20 ms.

Network congestion may occur if large amount of topology response packets reach the collecting device in a short period. To avoid this case, after a collected switch forwards a received topology collection request through a port, it delays for a period before it forwards the request through the next port. You can use the ntdp timer port-delay command to set the delay.

You can use the command on a collecting switch. The delay value you set by the ntdp timer port-delay command is carried in the topology collection requests sent by the collecting switch, and is used by collected devices to determine how long they should wait before they forward the received topology collection requests through the next port.

Example

# Set the delay for collected switches to forward topology collection requests through the next port to 40 ms.

1.3 Cluster Configuration Commands

1.3.1 add-member

Syntax

add-member [ member-number ] mac-address H-H-H [ password password ]

View

Cluster view

Parameter

member-number: Member number assigned to the candidate device to be added to the cluster. This argument ranges from 1 to 255.

H-H-H: MAC address of the candidate device to be added (in hexadecimal).

password: Password of the candidate device, a string of 1 to 256 characters. Password authentication is required when you add a candidate device to a cluster unless the candidate device is not configured with a password (in this case, you need not input this argument).

Description

Use the add-member command to add a candidate device to the cluster.

You can only use this command on the management device of a cluster.

If you do not specify the member number when adding a new cluster member, the management device assigns the next available member number to the new member.

After you add a candidate device to the cluster, the password of the device automatically changes to the management device password.

Note that, after a cluster is set up on an S3600 series switch, the switch will collect the topology information of the network at the topology collection interval you set and automatically add the candidate devices it discovers into the cluster. If you do not want the candidate switches to be automatically added into the cluster, you can set the topology collection interval to zero (by the ntdp timer command), which specifies not to perform periodic topology collection.

Example

# Add a candidate device to the cluster, setting the member number to 6. (Assume that the MAC address and user password of the candidate device are 00E0-fc00-35e7 and 123456 respectively.)

<aaa_0.H3C> system-view

System View: return to User View with Ctrl+Z.

1.3.2 administrator-address

Syntax

administrator-address mac-address name name

undo administrator-address

View

Cluster view

Parameter

mac-address: MAC address of the management device to be set.

name: Name of an existing cluster, a string of up to 8 characters, which can only be alphanumeric characters, minus signs (-), and underscores (_).

Description

Use the administrator-address command to add a device to a cluster by setting the management device MAC address and cluster name of a cluster on the device.

Use the undo administrator-address command to remove a member device from the cluster.

The commands here are generally used for debugging and restore purpose.

By default, a switch does not belong to any cluster.

A cluster has one and only one management device. After you set the MAC address of the management device on a member device, the member device is still able to identify the management device after system reboot.

It is recommended to use the delete-member command to remove a member from a cluster on the management device.

Example

# Remove a member device from the cluster.

<aaa_1.H3C> system-view

System View: return to User View with Ctrl+Z

[aaa_1.H3C] cluster

[aaa_1.H3C-cluster] undo administrator-address

1.3.3 auto-build

Syntax

auto-build [ recover ]

View

Cluster view

Parameter

recover: Recovers all member devices automatically.

Description

Use the auto-build command to start an automatic cluster building process.

You can execute this command on a candidate device as well as on a management device.

When you execute this command on a candidate device, you are prompted to enter a cluster name to build a cluster. Then, the system automatically collects candidate devices and adds them to the cluster.

When you execute this command on a management device, the system directly collects candidate devices ant automatically adds them to the cluster.

The recover keyword is used to recover a cluster. After you execute the auto-build recover command, the system looks for the down members in the member list and add them to the cluster again.

Note that, the collection of candidate/member devices are based on NTDP. So you must first enable NTDP. In addition, you can use the ntdp hop command in system view to change the collection range.

When the system automatically adds a device to the cluster, if the user password configured for the device is different from that of the management device, the device will not be successfully added to the cluster.

& Note:

l After a cluster is built automatically, ACL 3998 and ACL 3999 will be generated automatically.

l After a cluster is built automatically, ACL 3998 and ACL 3999 can neither be configured/modified nor removed.

Example

# Start an automatic cluster building process.

1.3.4 build

Syntax

build name

undo build

View

Cluster view

Parameter

name: Name to be set for the cluster, a string of up to 8 characters, which can only be alphanumeric characters, minus signs (-), and underscores (_).

Description

Use the build command to build a cluster with a cluster name or change the cluster name.

Use the undo build command to remove the cluster.

You can use this command on a candidate device as well as on a management device.

Executing the build command on a candidate device will change the device to a management device and assign a name to the cluster created on the device.

Executing the build command on a management device will change the cluster name of the management device.

The member number of a management device is 0.

Note that, after a cluster is set up on an S3600 series switch, the switch will collect the topology information of the network at the topology collection interval you set and automatically add the candidate devices it discovers into the cluster. If you do not want the candidate switches to be automatically added into the cluster, you can set the topology collection interval to zero (by the ntdp timer command), which specifies not to perform periodic topology collection.

& Note:

To reduce the risk of being attacked by malicious users against opened socket and enhance switch security, the S3600 series Ethernet switches provide the following functions, so that a cluster socket is opened only when it is needed:

l Opening UDP port 40000 (used for cluster) only when the cluster function is implemented,

l Closing UDP port 40000 at the same time when the cluster function is closed.

On the management device, the preceding functions are implemented as follows:

l When you create a cluster by using the build or auto-build command, UDP port 40000 is opened at the same time.

l When you remove a cluster by using the undo build or undo cluster enable command, UDP port 40000 is closed at the same time.

On member devices, the preceding functions are implemented as follows:

l 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.

l 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.

l When you execute the administrator-address command on a device, the device's UDP port 40000 is opened at the same time.

l 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.

l 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.

l 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.

1.3.7 cluster switch-to

Syntax

cluster switch-to { member-number | mac-address H-H-H | administrator }

View

User view

Parameter

member-number: Member number of a member device, ranging from 1 to 255.

mac-address H-H-H: Specifies the MAC address of a member device.

administrator: Switches back from the member device to the management device.

Description

Use the cluster switch-to command to switch between the management device and a member device for configuration and management.

On the management device, you can switch to the view of a member device to configure and manage the member device, and then switch back to the management device.

Both switching directions (from the management device to a member device, and from a member device to the management device) will use Telnet connection. Switching is performed based on the following rules:

l Both switching directions will perform authentication. In a switching process, the system will authenticate the level-3 super password. If the super password on the device that requests the switching is inconsistent with that on the requested device, the switching fails. When a candidate device joins the cluster, its super password will automatically synchronize to the supper password on the management device. It is recommended not to change the super password of any cluster member or the management device, so as to avoid switching failure resulting from authentication failure.

l After you switch from the management device to a member device, the member device view will inherit the user privilege level of the current management device view.

l After you switch from a member device to the management device, the privilege level on the management device view will be determined by the configuration on the management device.

l If all the Telnet resources on the requested device are used up, the switching to the device will not succeed.

When you execute this command on the management device with an inexistent member number or a MAC address that is not in the member list, an error will occur. In this case, you can enter quit to end the switching.

Example

# Switch from the management device to number-6 member device and then switch back to the management device.

The default multicast MAC address is 0180-C200-000A.

Note that, you can only use this command on a management device.

The management device in a cluster is able to periodically broadcast HGMP V2 multicast MAC synchronization packets. After you configure a multicast MAC address on the management device, all the member/candidate devices of the cluster will synchronize to the same multicast MAC address by receiving multicast MAC synchronization packets. This guarantees that the member/candidate devices of the cluster can receive the multicast packets from the management device.

Example

# Configure multicast MAC address 0180-C200-0028 for the cluster.

<aaa_0.H3C> system-view

System View: return to User View with Ctrl+Z.

1.3.9 cluster-mac syn-interval

Syntax

cluster-mac syn-interval time-interval

View

Cluster view

Parameter

time-interval: Interval to send HGMP V2 multicast MAC synchronization packets, ranging from 0 to 30 minutes.

Description

Use the cluster-mac syn-interval command to set the interval for the management device to send HGMP V2 multicast MAC synchronization packets periodically. You can only use this command on a management device.

By default, this interval is one minute.

If you set this interval to zero on a management device, the management device will not send HGMP V2 multicast MAC synchronization packets to other devices.

Example

# Set the interval for the management device to send HGMP V2 multicast MAC synchronization packets to one minute.

1.3.10 delete-member

Syntax

delete-member member-number

View

Cluster view

Parameter

member-number: Member number of a member device, ranging from 1 to 255.

Description

Use the delete-member command to remove a member device from the cluster.

You can only perform the operation on a management device. Otherwise, error will occur.

Note that, after a cluster is set up on an S3600 series switch, the switch will collect the topology information of the network at the topology collection interval you set and automatically add the candidate devices it discovers into the cluster. If you do not want the candidate switches to be automatically added into the cluster, you can set the topology collection interval to zero (by the ntdp timer command), which specifies not to perform periodic topology collection.

Example

# Remove number-2 member device from the cluster.

<aaa_0.H3C> system-view

System View: return to User View with Ctrl+Z.

[aaa_0.H3C] cluster

[aaa_0.H3C-cluster] delete-member 2

1.3.11 display cluster

Syntax

display cluster

View

Any view

Parameter

None

Description

Use the display cluster command to display the status and statistics information of the cluster to which the current switch belongs.

Executing this command on a member device will display the following information: cluster name, member number of the current switch, MAC address and status of the management device, holdtime, and interval to send handshake packets.

Executing this command on a management device will display the following information: cluster name, number of the member devices in the cluster, cluster status, holdtime, and interval to send handshake packets.

Executing this command on a device that does not belong to any cluster will display an error.

1.3.12 display cluster candidates

Syntax

display cluster candidates [ mac-address H-H-H | verbose ]

View

Any view

Parameter

mac-address H-H-H: Specifies the MAC address of a candidate device.

verbose: Displays detailed information about candidate devices.

Description

Use the display cluster candidates command to display information about one specified or all candidate devices of a cluster.

You can only use this command on a management device.

Note that, after a cluster is set up on an S3600 series switch, the switch will collect the topology information of the network at the topology collection interval you set and automatically add the candidate devices it discovers into the cluster. As a result, if the topology collection interval is too short (the default interval is 1 minute), the switches acting as candidate devices will not keep in candidate state for a long time – they will change to member devices within a short time. If you do not want the candidate switches to be automatically added into the cluster, you can set the topology collection interval to zero (by using the ntdp timer command), which specifies not to perform topology collection periodically.

Example

# Display information about all candidate devices.

<aaa_0.H3C-cluster> display cluster candidates

Description

Use the ftp-server command to configure a shared FTP server for the cluster on the management device.

Use the undo ftp-server command to remove the shared FTP server setting.

By default, the management device acts as the shared FTP server.

After setting the IP address of an FTP server for the cluster, the member devices in the cluster can access the FTP server through the management device.

Example

# Configure FTP server 1.0.0.9 on the management device of a cluster.

1.3.16 holdtime

Syntax

holdtime seconds

undo holdtime

View

Cluster view

Parameter

seconds: Holdtime in seconds, ranging from 1 to 255.

Description

Use the holdtime command to configure the holdtime of member switches.

Use the undo holdtime command to restore the default holdtime value.

By default, the holdtime is 60 seconds.

l If the management switch does not receive any information from a member device within the holdtime, it sets the status of the member device to “down”. When the communication between the two devices resumes, the member device will be re-added to the cluster automatically.

l If the downtime of a member device does not exceed the holdtime, the member device stays in the normal state and does not need to be added again.

Note that, you need only execute the command on a management device, which will advertise the holdtime value to all member devices in the cluster.

Example

# Set the holdtime to 30 seconds on a management device.

<aaa_0.H3C> system-view

System View: return to User View with Ctrl+Z.

[aaa_0.H3C] cluster

1.3.17 ip-pool

Syntax

ip-pool administrator-ip-address { ip-mask | ip-mask-length }

undo ip-pool

View

Cluster view

Parameter

administrator-ip-address: IP address for the device to be set as the management device of a cluster.

ip-mask: Mask of the cluster IP address pool.

ip-mask-length: Mask length of the cluster IP address pool.

Description

Use the ip-pool command to configure a private IP address pool on the switch to be set as the management device. After the switch becomes a management device, it can assign the IP addresses in this pool to its member devices.

Use the undo ip-pool command to cancel the IP address pool configuration.

Before creating a cluster on a device, you must first configure a private IP address pool on the device. When a candidate device joins a cluster, the management device dynamically assigns a private IP address in the pool to it, so that the candidate device can communicate with other devices in the cluster. This enables the management device to manage and maintain member devices in the cluster.

Note that, you can only execute the command on a device that does not belong to any cluster. After a cluster is created on a device, you will not be able to change the IP address pool on it.

Example

# Configure a private IP address pool for a cluster.

Parameter

vlan-id: ID of the VLAN to be specified as the management VLAN.

Description

Use the management-vlan command to specify the management VLAN on the switch.

Use the undo management-vlan command to restore the default management VLAN.

By default, VLAN 1 is used as the management VLAN.

When specifying the management VLAN, note that:

l The management VLANs on all the devices in a cluster must be the same.

l You can specify the management VLAN on a device only when no cluster is created on the device. You cannot change the management VLAN on a device that already joins a cluster. If you want to change the management VLAN on a device where a cluster has already been created, you must first remove the cluster configuration on the device, then re-specify a VLAN as the management VLAN, and finally re-created the cluster.

Example

# Specify VLAN 2 as the management VLAN of the current switch.
