Configuration Supporting Multiple Management
IP Networks
This work flow highlights the changes
that occur in your system when you configure Multiple Management IP (MMIP)
networks.
Day 0 and Installation
Configuration
- In a multi-node deployment, the
VIP (virtual IP address) that you enter during installation is the same as for a
non-MMIP deployment. This VIP is distinguished from those added during MMIP
network operations and cannot be deleted.
- During installation, you are
prompted to create additional MMIP networks and routes.
- Keepalived, ingress, and
interface changes are performed on both nodes of a multi-node deployment.
- Configuration is persisted for
RMA purposes, so that the Supportsave function has data for debugging
issues.
For step-by-step instructions for configuring MMIP during installation or upgrade,
see the
Extreme Fabric Automation Deployment Guide,
2.5.0
.
Day 1 to Day n Configuration
- You can use the EFA CLI or REST
APIs to add and delete management routes and IP address and VLAN
combinations.
- Keepalived, ingress, and
interface changes are performed on both nodes of a multi-node deployment.
- Configuration is persisted for RMA purposes, so that the Supportsave function
has data for debugging issues.
- The backup and restore process
also restores the previous configuration of the sub-interfaces.
