Setting the PMI of the Branch Gateway
Procedure
1. Use the interface command to enter the context of the interface to which you
want to set the PMI (primary management interface).
For example, to use the VLAN 1 interface as the PMI, enter interface vlan
1.
Note:
If the interface has not been defined, define it now.
2. Enter
• pmi for an IPv4 PMI
• pmi6 for an IPv6 PMI.
3. To return to general context, enter the exit command.
4. To save the new PMI in the startup configuration file, enter the copy running-
config startup-config command.
5. To reset the Branch Gateway, enter the reset command.
Note:
Most configuration changes take effect as soon as you make the change, but
must be saved to the startup configuration file in order to remain in effect after
you reset the Branch Gateway. The PMI address is an exception. A change to
the PMI does not take effect at all until you reset the Branch Gateway.
6. To verify the new PMI, enter show pmi in general context.
If you use this command before you reset the Branch Gateway:
• Active PMI, Active PMI6 and Configured PMI display
• Both the Active and the Configured PMI should be the same IP address.
7. Use the following commands to configure other identification information:
•
set system contact
•
set system location
•
set system name
