Management Applications

The Segmented Management Instance provides support for management interfaces that transmit and receive packets directly to and from the system native Linux IP stack. Unlike a traditional management interface, for example, a CLIP in the GRT that is part of the networking IP stack, Segmented Management Instance interfaces do not route packets through the networking IP stack.

The following management applications use the Segmented Management Instance directly to transmit or receive packets with segmented management interfaces and addresses.
