Cisco 6000 series User Manual

Prerequisites for Configuring Management Ethernet Interfaces
You must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. The command
reference guides include the task IDs required for each command. If you suspect user group assignment is
preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.
Before performing the Management Ethernet interface configuration procedures that are described in this
module, ensure that these tasks and conditions are met:
• You have performed the initial configuration of the Management Ethernet interface.
• You know how to apply the generalized interface name specification rack/slot/module/port .
For transparent switchover, both active and standby Management Ethernet interfaces are expected to be
physically connected to the same LAN or switch.
