Configure a Segmented Management Instance Using quick-config-mgmt Utility

Use the following procedure to run the quick-config-mgmt utility script to ease the transition to the Segmented Management Instance.

The quick-config-mgmt utility recognizes existing configuration. For the OOB Management Instance, you can overwrite the existing configuration only. However, for the VLAN Management Instance, you can overwrite the existing configuration, or you can migrate the existing configuration to a coexistence of IP on both the routing VLAN and the management VLAN.

The quick-config-mgmt utility supports the following:

  • IPv4 only

  • only one interface at one time

  • Out-of-Band mangagement and In-Band VLAN management

About this task

You can use this procedure to help you transition to a new Segmented Management Instance. You can configure IPv4, static routes, and DHCP support for the Out-of-Band (OOB) Management Instance or for the In-Band VLAN Management Instance. If configuration exists for the interface type you selected, you are prompted to replace the configured interface or to quit the utility.

Important

Important

If you configure DHCP, any other running DHCP instance is stopped and a new DHCP instance is created on the interface. This might cause loss of connectivity.

The default values are given in square brackets. You can input your values at the prompt or you can press Enter to accept the default values.

Procedure

  1. Enter Global Configuration mode:

    enable

    configure terminal

  2. Enter the following command to start the utility:

    quick-config-mgmt

    Important

    Important

    If DHCP mode cycle is enabled, the following warning message displays to inform you that DHCP client will be disabled, if you continue.

    Continuing will disable dhcp and may affect your connectivity to the DUT. Do you want to continue? y/n [n]:

Examples

The following examples show outputs from the quick-config-mgmt utility.

Configure the OOB Management Instance:

Switch:1(config)#quick-config-mgmt
Welcome to the management interface setup utility.                       
You will be requested for information to initially configure the switch.     
When finished the information will be applied and stored as a part of the configuration.                               
                                          
 Once the basic parameters are configured, additional configuration can proceed using other management interfaces. 
 Press q to abort at any time.
