Configuring the CCP Transport Mode on the Cluster Members

From R80.20, the Cluster Control Protocol (CCP) has four modes:

Mode

Description

Automatic

The CCP mode changes automatically between Multicast, Broadcast, and Unicast to find the optimized CCP mode according to network state.

These CCP mode changes are independent for individual interfaces.

This CCP mode prevents unnecessary cluster failovers and interface state changes when CCP packets are not received because of networking issues.

Unicast

This CCP mode is applicable to clusters of two members only.

In this CCP mode, the CCP packets are sent to a unicast Layer 2 destination MAC address of a peer Cluster Member.

This CCP mode decreases unneeded network traffic and overcomes network barriers (switches that does not pass multicast traffic, and so on).

Multicast

In this CCP mode, the CCP packets are sent to a multicast Layer 2 destination MAC address (01:00:5E:xx:yy:zz). See sk25977.

This is the default CCP mode for non-Sync interfaces.

Broadcast

In this CCP mode, the CCP packets are sent to a broadcast Layer 2 MAC address (FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF). See sk25977 and sk36644.

This is the default CCP mode for Sync interface.

This is the only supported CCP mode on Bridge interfaces.

Use this CCP mode if the connecting switches do not pass CCP multicast packets.

To set the CCP mode:

This configuration applies immediately and survives reboot.

To monitor the CCP mode:
