At startup, the system loads the runtime configuration file, which is stored in the internal flash of the CPU. If the file is present, the system assigns the IP address for the management port from that file.
You can configure an IP address for the management port if one is not in the configuration file. For more information, see Configure an IP Address for the Management Port. This procedure only applies to VSP 8600 Series. For other products, see Segmented Management.
