Enable Redundant Management

Redundant management provides fault tolerance for the management path.

About this task

Follow this procedure on a supported SLX device. For more information, see Redundant Management Network Overview.

Procedure

  1. Enter global configuration mode. 
    device# configure terminal
  2. Enter interface configuration mode. 
    device(config)# interface ethernet 0/32
  3. Enable Redundant Management. 
    device(conf-if-eth-0/32)# redundant-management enable

Example

The following example configures Ethernet 0/32 at 10G speed.

device# config
device(config)# interface ethernet 0/32
device(conf-if-eth-0/32)# redundant-management enable
device(conf-if-eth-0/32)# no shut

The following example configures Ethernet 0/32 at 1G speed.

device# config
device(config)# interface ethernet 0/32
device(conf-if-eth-0/32)# speed 1000
device(conf-if-eth-0/32)# redundant-management enable
device(conf-if-eth-0/32)# no shut

The following example configures Ethernet 0/32 on an SLX 9250 with a Mellanox adapter at 1G speed.

device# conf t
device(config)# hardware
device(config-hardware)# connector 0/32
device(config-connector-0/32)# breakout mode 4x1G
device(config-connector-0/32)# end
device# conf t
device(config)# interface ethernet 0/32:1
device(conf-if-eth-0/32:1)# redundant-management enable
device(conf-if-eth-0/32:1)# no shut

Example

The following examples show interface details when redundant management is enabled.
