Migrate an IP Address to a Segmented Management Instance

In releases prior to VOSS release 8.1.60, perform this procedure to identify a pre-existing VLAN or loopback management interface to migrate to the Segmented Management Instance after you upgrade. This action moves the IP interface from the routing stack to the management stack to use with management applications. In releases later than VOSS 8.1.60, you can perform this procedure to migrate a new routing VLAN with a new IP address or a new loopback IP address under a different VRF to the Segmented Management Instance. Alternatively, you can also use the convert command.

Important

Important

Choose a VLAN that does not have an IP interface on it. The upgrade process removes the IP configuration and network connectivity will be impacted.

About this task

You cannot migrate interfaces used for routing purposes, for example, where you configure Layer 3 routing protocols.

This command does not apply to the OOB or mgmtEthernet interface. Releases that support this migration procedure automatically move the IP address on the mgmtEthernet interface from the routing stack to the Segmented Management Instance.

Procedure

  1. In the navigation pane, expand Configuration > Edit.
  2. Select Mgmt Instance.
  3. Select Mgmt.
  4. Select the Migrate tab.
  5. Select Insert.
  6. Select the instance type, either clip or vlan.
  7. Specify the existing VLAN or loopback ID.
  8. Select Insert.
