Migration to Segmented Management Instance

Segmented Management Instance Migration

As a best practice, use the convert command.

With the convert command, you can dynamically change the attributes of a Management Instance while you actively manage the switch over that same Management Instance without requiring the switch to reboot. This option also has rollback functionality to recover from unwanted changes.

For more information, see the following sections:

You can use the migrate-to-mgmt command to move a management VLAN to a different VLAN ID, or a management CLIP to a different VRF. However, if you use this option, you must reboot your switch after you save the configuration changes.

The following is an outline of the steps required for management migration using the migrate-to-mgmt command:

1. Configure a new or existing VLAN or CLIP management interface using Interface Configuration mode in the CLI (interface vlan <vlan_id> or interface loopback <clip_id>) or EDM.
   

   Important

   The IP interface and all routing protocols attached to the original VLAN are deleted post migration.

2. Add required routes to reach management services and subnets from the new interface.
3. Test connectivity to the new interface using ping and traceroute, and from the switch to management stations and servers.
4. Use the migrate-to-mgmt command from the new interface CLI mode.
5. Save the configuration and reboot.
   

   Note

   During boot, the migrate-to-mgmt settings are parsed and override the existing management interface with the new interface.
6. Access and manage the switch from the new interface.
