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 .
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.
