When you configure the IP address for the VLAN management, the address gets assigned to the primary MSM/MM. You can connect to the management port on the primary MSM/MM for any switch configuration. The management port on the backup MSM/MM is available only when failover occurs. If failover occurs, the primary MSM/MM relinquishes its role, the backup MSM/MM takes over, and VLAN management on the new primary MSM/MM acquires the IP address of the previous primary MSM/MM.
On a SummitStack, the master node is accessed using the management port primary IP address for other platforms. The primary IP address is acquired by the backup node when it becomes the master node due to a failover. You can also directly access any node in the stack using its alternate IP address if the node's management port is connected to your network.
The following example configuration sets the management port IP address to 192.168.1.50, mask length of 25, and configures the gateway to use 192.168.1.1:
configure vlan mgmt ipaddress 192.168.1.50/25 configure iproute add default 192.168.1.1 vr vr-mgmt
