Configure Redundant Management with a Mellanox Adapter

The following procedure configures redundant management on port 0/15 with a Mellanox Adapter.

Configure port 0/15.

device# configure
device(config)# hardware 
device(config-hardware)# connector 0/15
device(config-connector-0/15)# 
device#

Configure breakout mode of 4x1G. (only on SLX 9250/Extreme 8720 devices)

device(config-connector-0/15)# breakout mode 4x1G
device(config-connector-0/15)# end
device#

Configure breakout mode of 4x10G. (on both SLX 9250/Extreme 8720 and SLX 9740/Extreme 8820 devices)

device(config-connector-0/15)# breakout mode 4x10G
device(config-connector-0/15)# end
device#

Configure redundant management on port 0/15.
```
device# configure
device(config)# interface Ethernet 0/15:1 
device(config-hardware)# connector 0/15
device(conf-if-eth-0/15:1)# redundant-management enable 
device(conf-if-eth-0/15:1)# no shut
device(conf-if-eth-0/15:1)# end
device# 
```
When using the Mellanox adaptor, only the first member of the breakout board can be used as the Redundant Management Interface. This is shown in the above example.

Example

The following example displays the Redundant Management Interface configuration on SLX 9250/Extreme 8720 devices with 4x10G.
