Management Router VRF

The switch has a separate VRF called Management Router (MgmtRouter) reserved for the management port and the Virtual Management IP address. The configured IP subnet has to be globally unique because the management protocols, for example, SNMP, Telnet, and FTP, can go through in-band or out-of-band ports. The VRF ID for the Management Router is 512.

The switch never switches or routes transit packets between the Management Router VRF port and the Global Router VRF, or between the Management Router VRF and other VRF ports.

The switch honors the VRF of the ingress packet; however, in no circumstance does the switch allow routing between the Management VRF and Global Router VRF. The switch does not support the configuration if you have an out-of-band management network with access to the same networks present in the GRT routing table.
