Configure a Segmented Management Instance

Note

This procedure does not apply to VSP 8600 Series.

You must create a Management Instance to gain access to specific management applications.

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.

In a Layer 2 routing deployment, use a management VLAN. In a Layer 3 routing or Fabric deployment, use a management CLIP. To separate management network from Layer 2 and Layer 3, use a management OOB.

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

Procedure

In the navigation pane, expand Configuration > Edit.
Expand Mgmt Instance.
Select Mgmt.
Select the Interface tab.
Select Insert.
In the InstanceId field, select the type of Management Instance to create.
Optional: For a CLIP Management Instance, in the VrfName field, type the VRF name to associate with the CLIP instance.

Note

If you want to associate the GRT with the CLIP instance, type GlobalRouter in the VrfName field. You cannot use mgmtrouter as the VRF.
For a VLAN Management Instance, in the VlanId field, type the VLAN ID to associate the management VLAN with an existing port-based VLAN.
For an OOB Management Instance, in the OOBIfindex field, select the interface port number to associate for Out-of-Band management.
Select the State check box to enable the instance.
To specify the interface as the default topology IP for LLDP advertisements, select InterfaceTopologyIpFlag.
To administratively enable RMON for the interface, select RmonAdminEnable.
Select Insert.
