For a cluster to be established successfully, make sure that theport is not in use before establishing it.Enabling management VLAN auto-negotiationThe management VLAN limits the cluster management range. If the switch discovered by themanagement switch does not belong to the management VLAN, meaning the cascade ports and theports connecting with the management switch do not allow the packets from the management VLAN topass, and the new switch cannot be added to the cluster. Through the configuration of the managementVLAN auto-negotiation function, the cascade ports and the ports directly connected to the managementswitch can be automatically added to the management VLAN.NOTE:When the management VLAN auto-negotiation is enabled, the ports connecting member switchesautomatically change to hybrid ports, and permit the packets of the management VLAN to pass throughtagged.• If a port was an access or a trunk port, after changed to a hybrid port, the port does not permit thepackets of any other VLAN except the management VLAN to pass through.• If a port was a hybrid port, the link type change process does not affect the permitted VLANs. The onlychange is that the packets of the management VLAN are permitted to pass through tagged.Before enabling this function, check the link types of ports connecting member switches and the VLANswhose packets are permitted to pass through to avoid influence to your network due to link type change ofports.Follow these steps to configure management VLAN auto-negotiation:To do… Use the command… RemarksEnter system view system-view —Enter cluster view cluster —Enable management VLANauto-negotiationmanagement-vlan synchronizationenableRequiredDisabled by default.
