Segmented Management Instance Considerations and Restrictions

This section identifies considerations and restrictions for the Segmented Management Instance.

You can configure a maximum of three Management Instance interfaces, one of each type; an Out-of-Band (OOB) management interface, a Circuitless IP (CLIP) management interface, and a VLAN management interface.

You can configure the route priority for the Segmented Management Instance. The Source IP default route priority is management CLIP (weight 100), then management VLAN (weight 200), then management OOB interface (weight 300). You can route packets through a different management interface than the default configuration, but you must add a specific static route or change the default weight of the management interface.

Note

If you change the default route weight, the management interface with the lowest weight value becomes the default route for all segmented management interface traffic.

Note

The VSP 8600 Series Segmented Management Instance does not support ACL based filters or use of ping with -Q option to change the internal priority of management traffic.

You can configure the default topology IP for LLDP and SONMP advertisements. Both LLDP and SONMP advertise the same topology IP. SONMP supports only IPv4 addresses. If multiple IPv4 addresses are configured on an OOB or VLAN management interface, the advertised IP priority is static IP address, then DHCP IP address, then link-local IP address.

IPSec is not supported on Segmented Management Instance management interfaces.
