Enabling management VLAN synchronization
By default, VLAN 1 is the management VLAN. To specify another VLAN as the management VLAN for
the cluster, you must configure the same management VLAN on all the devices that are about to join the
cluster.
By enabling the management VLAN synchronization function on the management device, you can
enable the management device to send a management VLAN synchronization packet periodically to
the connected devices. After the devices receive the management VLAN synchronization packet, they
set their own management VLANs according to the packet. In this way, all devices set the same
management VLAN automatically, and thus simplify your configurations.
