Configuring the Insight Interface for the SLX 9150/9250

The SLX 9150 and SLX 9250 use directly connected, dedicated internal ethernet ports for TPVM access. These ports are used exclusively for VM access and are not accessible from the command line interface. Use the following steps to configure a port channel to access the Insight Interface on the SLX 9150 and SLX 9250.

1. Enter global configuration mode.
   

   device# configure terminal

2. In global configuration mode, specify a port-channel. You can create a new port-channel or use an existing unconfigured port-channel. The Insight Interface can only be configured on one port-channel
   

   device(config)# interface port-channel 50
   

3. In interface subtype configuration mode, enter the insight enable command.
   

   device(config-Port-channel-50)# insight enable
   

4. Set the port ip-address.
   

   device(config-Port-channel-50)# ip address 10.0.0.1/24

5. Enable the interface.
   

   device(config-Port-channel-50)# no shutdown
   

6. Use the show interface port-channel and the show port-channel commands to confirm the configuration, as in the following example.
   

   device# show interface port-channel 50
   Port-channel 50 is up, line protocol is up
   Insight mode is enabled
