To configure a Management interface, use the following command in the CONFIGURATION mode: Command Syntax interface Managementethernet interface Command Mode Purpose CONFIGURATION Enter the slot and the port (0). ON the E-Series and C-Series, dual RPMs can be in use. Slot range: C-Series, E-Series: 0-1 S55: 0 To view the Primary RPM Management port, use the show interface Managementethernet command in the EXEC Privilege mode. If there are 2 RPMs, the you cannot view information on that interface. To configure IP addresses on a Management interface, use the following command in the MANAGEMENT INTERFACE mode: Command Syntax ip address ip-address mask Command Mode INTERFACE Purpose Configure an IP address and mask on the interface. • ip-address mask: enter an address in dotted-decimal format (A.B.C.D), the mask must be in /prefix format (/x) If there are 2 RPMs on the system, each Management interface must be configured with a different IP address. Unless the management route command is configured, you can only access the Management interface from the local LAN. To access the Management interface from another LAN, the management route command must be configured to point to the Management interface. Alternatively, you can use virtual-ip to manage a system with one or two RPMs. A virtual IP is an IP address assigned to the system (not to any management interfaces) and is a CONFIGURATION mode command. When a virtual IP address is assigned to the system, the active management interface of the RPM is recognized by the virtual IP address-not by the actual interface IP address assigned to it. During an RPM failover, you do not have to remember the IP address of the new RPM's management interface- the system will still recognizes the virtual-IP address. Configure Management Interfaces on the S-Series The user can manage the S-Series from any port. Configure an IP address for the port using the ip address command, and enable it using the command no shutdown. The user may use the command description from INTERFACE mode to note that the interface is the management interface. There is no separate management routing table, so the user must configure all routes in the IP routing table (the ip route command). As shown in Figure 15-8, from EXEC Privilege mode, display the configuration for a given port by entering the command show interface, and the routing table with the show ip route command.
