Configure a Segmented Management Instance IP Address

Note

This procedure only applies to VSP 8600 Series.

After you create the Management Instance, you can add an IP address to it, and then configure route redistribution to advertise reachability of the Management Instance to the rest of the network.

Before you begin

Ensure the IP address you plan to assign is not in use by an existing VLAN or CLIP IP subnet configured on the switch.

Procedure

In the navigation pane, expand Configuration > Edit.
Select Mgmt Instance.
Select the MgmtAddress tab.

Tip

If you create the interface and assign an IP address during the same EDM session, you may need to select Refresh on the MgmtAddress tab before you see the new interface to configure.
To assign an IPv4 address:
1. Select the IpAddress field, and then type the IPv4 address value.
2. Select the IpMask field, and then type the IPv4 Mask value.
To assign an IPv6 address:
1. Select the Ipv6Address field, and then type the IPv6 address value.
2. Select the Ipv6PrefixLength field, and then type the IPv6 prefix value.
Select Apply.
