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, 3.1.0 .

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.
