Enabling the cluster function

Optional
Configuring the network management interface

Optional
To reduce the risk of being attacked by malicious users against opened socket and enhance switch
security, the Switch 4500 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 the management device, the preceding functions are implemented as follows:
z
When you create a cluster by using the
build
or
auto-build
command, UDP port 40000 is opened
at the same time.
z
When you remove a cluster by using the
undo build
or
undo cluster enable
command, UDP port
40000 is closed at the same time.
