Instructions
The Management interface provides Out of Band (OOB) management access to the network device. If using an OOB port, it must be on a different IP subnet than the in-band ports of the same switch.

Assign IP Address to Management Interface and Management Route
Use the following commands to Assign IP address and configure management route
| Configuration |
Explanation |
|---|---|
| OS10#configure |
Enter Configuration mode |
| OS10(config)# interface mgmt 1/1/1 |
Configure management interface |
| OS10(conf-if-ma-1/1/1)# ip address <IP-ADDRESS/Subnet Mask> |
Configure IP address/Subnet mask |
| OS10(conf-if-ma-1/1/1)# no shutdown |
Ensure management interface is not shutdown |
| OS10(conf-if-ma-1/1/1)# exit |
Exit from interface configuration |
| OS10(config)# management route <IP-ADDRESS/Subnet Mask> <Next Hop Ip address> |
Configure management route |
NOTE: When you configure Management route ensure the following is followed
- Nexthop must be within same subnet
- Prefix cannot be exact same subnet as assigned IP
Management Interface and Route Sample Configuration
Assume we are configuring management interface with ip address 10.0.0.1, subnet mask 255.255.255.0 or /24 and gateway 10.0.0.254
Verification
Use command show ip interface brief | grep man to see the ip address assigned to management interface
Use command show ip management-route to see management routes configured
WARNING: Do not configure the same prefix in both the static route and management route. If the same prefix must be used, use management VRF for proper communication.
For example: Consider we have to configure a default route in default VRF and management VRF.
Here the management default route will be ignored.
For such situations use management VRF
Management VRF
VRF partitions a physical router into multiple virtual routers (VRs).
- OS10 supports a management VRF instance, a default VRF instance, and a maximum of 512 non-default
- We can assign only management interfaces to the management VRF instance
Configuring Management VRF
Configuration Syntax
| Configuration |
Explanation |
|---|---|
| OS10#configure |
Enter Configuration mode |
| OS10(config)# ip vrf management |
Configure management VRF |
| OS10(conf-vrf)# interface management |
Add Management interface to Management VRF |
WARNING: Remove all the configured settings, including the IP address, on the management interface before adding to management VRF.
Assign IP address to Management Interface and Configure Management Route
Sample configuration
Remove any configuration in management interface and management route (If already configured)
Add the management interface in to the management VRF
To verify if the interface is added in the management VRF use show ip VRF management
Once the management interface is added to the management VRF, proceed with configuring the IP address and route for the management interface.
