Enable Redundant Management

  1. Enter global configuration mode.
    SLX # configure terminal
  2. Enter interface configuration mode.
    SLX(config)# interface ethernet 0/15
  3. Enable Redundant Management.
    SLX(conf-if-eth-0/15)# redundant-management enable

Example

Port 0/15 at 10G speed:

SLX # config
SLX(config)# interface ethernet 0/15
SLX(conf-if-eth-0/15)# redundant-management enable
SLX(conf-if-eth-0/15)# no shut

Port 0/15 at 1G speed:

SLX # config
SLX(config)# interface ethernet 0/15
SLX(conf-if-eth-0/15)# speed 1000
SLX(conf-if-eth-0/15)# redundant-management enable
SLX(conf-if-eth-0/15)# no shut

Port 0/15 on SLX-9250 only with Mellanox Adapter at 1G speed:

SLX# conf t
SLX(config)# hardware
SLX(config-hardware)# connector 0/15
SLX(config-connector-0/49)# breakout mode 4x1G
SLX(config-connector-0/49)# end
SLX# conf t
SLX(config)# interface Ethernet 0/15:1
SLX(conf-if-eth-0/49:1)# redundant-management enable
SLX(conf-if-eth-0/49:1)# no shut
