Configure Redundant Management

To configure Redundant Management, use the following commands.

Note

Redundant Management is supported on the SLX 9250/Extreme 8720 and the SLX 9740/Extreme 8820 devices.

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

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

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"

redundant management port 0/15

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