Configuring Interaction For A Cluster - HP 5500 EI Series Configuration Manual

• Backing them up in the Flash of the management switch. When the management switch restarts, the
whitelist and blacklist will be automatically restored from the Flash. When a cluster is re-established,
you can choose whether to restore the whitelist and blacklist from the Flash automatically, or you
can manually restore them from the Flash of the management switch.
To configure cluster topology management:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter cluster view.
3. Add a switch to the blacklist.
4. Remove a switch from the
blacklist.
5. Confirm the current topology
and save it as the standard
topology.
6. Save the standard topology to
the FTP server or the local
Flash.
7. Restore the standard
topology.

Configuring interaction for a cluster

You can configure shared FTP/TFTP server, NMS, and log host settings for the cluster on the management
switch.
• Cluster members access the FTP/TFTP server through the management switch. When you execute
the ftp server-address or tftp server-address command on a cluster member, you specify the private
IP address of the management switch for the server-address argument to access the FTP/TFTP server.
For more information about the ftp and tftp commands, see Fundamentals Command Reference.
Cluster members output their log data to the management switch, which converts the IP address for
•
the log data packets before forwarding the packets to the log host.
• Cluster member switches send their traps to the SNMP NMS through the management switch.
If the port of an access NM switch (including FTP/TFTP server, NM host and log host) does not allow the
packets from the management VLAN to pass, the NM switch cannot manage the switches in a cluster
through the management switch. In this case, on the management switch, you need to configure the
VLAN interface of the access NM switch (including FTP/TFTP server, NM host and log host) as the NM
interface.
To isolate cluster management and control packets from the external networks for security, HP
recommends you configure the ports connected to the external networks as not allowing the
management VLAN to pass through. If the port connected to the NMS, FTP/TFTP server, or log host is
one of these ports, you must specify a VLAN interface other than the management VLAN interface as the
