Create a Segmented Management Instance

You must create a Management Instance to gain access to specific management applications. After you create the Management Instance, you can add an IP address to it and configure route redistribution to advertise reachability of the Management Instance to the rest of the network.

About this task

The Management Instance supports different management interface types. When you create the Management Instance, you specify the interface type and the switch automatically creates the appropriate instance ID for that type.

A management VLAN is used for Layer 2 deployments. In a Layer 3 routing or Fabric deployment, use a management CLIP. For Out-of-band Management, use a management OOB.

Each Management Instance supports a IPv4 and IPv6 (global scope) management address for use by management applications.

Procedure

Enter Global Configuration mode:

enable

configure terminal
Create the Management Instance required for your deployment:
1. To create a management CLIP:
  
  mgmt clip [vrf WORD<1–16>]
  
  Note
  
  If you do not specify a VRF, the management CLIP uses the GRT.
  
  OR
2. To create a management OOB:
  
  mgmt oob
  
  OR
3. To create a management VLAN and associate it with an existing port-based VLAN:
  
  mgmt vlan <2-4059>
Enable the Management Instance:

enable

Example

Create and enable a Management CLIP:

Switch:1>enable
Switch:1#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
Switch:1(config)#mgmt clip 
Switch:1(mgmt:clip)#enable

Create and enable a Management OOB:

Switch:1>enable
Switch:1#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
Switch:1(config)#mgmt oob
Switch:1(mgmt:oob)#enable

Create and enable a Management VLAN:

Switch:1>enable
Switch:1#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
Switch:1(config)#mgmt vlan 20
Switch:1(mgmt:vlan)#enable
