Configure Redundant Management

The Redundant Management Interface feature provides fault tolerance for the management path.

About this task

To configure Redundant Management, use the following commands.

Note

Redundant Management is supported on the SLX 9250 and the SLX 9740.

1. Ensure interface management is enabled.
   

   device# configure
   device(config)# interface management 0
   device(config-Management-0)# ip address dhcp
   device(config-Management-0)# no shut
   device(config-Management-0)# exit

2. Enable redundant management on an interface/port. RMI is always enabled on one of the physical user ports. To enable RMI on an interface/port:
   

   device(config)# interface ethernet 0/15
   device(conf-if-eth-0/15)# redundant-management enable
   device(conf-if-eth-0/15)# no shut
   device(conf-if-eth-0/15)# exit

3. Use show interface management and show interface ethernet commands to verify the configuration.
   

   (device)# show interface Management 0
   interface Management 0
   line-speed actual "1000baseT, Duplex: Full"
   oper-status up
   ip address "static 10.24.12.89/22"
   ip gateway-address 10.24.12.1
   ipv6 ipv6-address [  ]
   ipv6 ipv6-gateways [  ]
   redundant management port 0/15

   

   (device)# show interface ethernet 0/15
   Ethernet 0/15 is admin down, line protocol is down (admin down)
