Configure a Segmented Management Instance
Note
This procedure only applies 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 3 routing or Fabric deployment, use a management CLIP.
Each Management Instance supports a single IPv4 and IPv6 (global scope) management address for use by management applications.
Procedure
- 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.
If you specify a non-default VRF, you must enable Layer 3 VSN to achieve IPv6 CLIP connectivity.
