In this section:

This object allows you to configure a group of management IP interfaces for the default address context.

Key Management Interface functionality:

  • One non-VLAN and up to 15 VLAN management interfaces can be configured on each physical management port for a total of 16.
  • Users can choose aribitrary VLAN tag values from 2-4094.
  • Users can use non-VLAN management interfaces when VLAN management interfaces are configured.

  • The VLAN interfaces on management ports follow the same redundancy model as the existing untagged management port interfaces.

  • The management interface can have one IPv4 address and/or one IPv6 address. 

  • Unlike a packet port, the management port supports both non-VLAN and VLAN interfaces on the same management port.

  • Each management port should be configured with the same set of VLANs in order to provide port redundancy. 
  • Management interfaces in the same VLAN should be in the same subnet.
Note
A management IP interface must contain at least one IP address to be considered valid.

The following fields are displayed:

Management - Mgmt Ip Interface Parameters

Parameter

Description

Name

Enter the management IP Interface name.

Ce Name

Specifies the name of the compute element that hosts the port used by this management IP interface. Must be 1-255 characters.

Port Name

Specifies the port name used by this management IP interface.

IP Address V4

The IP Address of the Interface. For IPv4, the length is in the range of 0 to 32. The 32-bit IP address in dotted decimal form (for example 128.127.50.224).

Prefix V4

Specifies the IPV4 subnet prefix of this management Interface. The value ranges from 0 to 32.

IP Address V6

The IP Address of the Interface. For IPv6, the length is in the range of 0 to 128. The eight 16-bit hexadecimal values separated by colons (for example
1280:1276:3350:2224:2222:3333:8888:1245).

Prefix V6

Specifies the IPV6 subnet prefix of this management Interface.

State

Administrative state of the management network interface.

  • disabled (default)— In this state the management IP interface is inactive, it does not respond to a ping.
  • enabled — In this state the management IP interface is active and it responds to a ping if the Ethernet cable is plugged in.
VLAN TagVLAN ID for the management interface. The length is in the range of 2 to 4094. The default value of 0 is for non-VLAN management interface.

For management interface groups (and interfaces), the default address context is implied, and therefore the address context is not specified.

To Delete Mgmt Ip Interface

To delete any of the created Mgmt IP Interface, click the radio button next to the IP Interface which you want to delete.
