Configuring a Second Management Interface
Refer to Getting Started for instructions on configuring a system management interface on the Management
Input/Output (MIO/UMIO/MIO2) card. This section provides described how to configure a second management
interface.
Use the following example to configure a second management interface:
configure
context local
interface interface_name
ip address ipaddress subnetmask
exit
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 gw_address interface_name
exit
port ethernet slot#/port#
bind interface interface_name local
no shutdown
media rj45
end
Notes:
•
For port ethernet slot#, use the actual chassis slot in which the active MIO/UMIO/MIO2 resides (slot
number 5 or 6).
•
Enter IP addresses using IPv4 dotted-decimal or IPv6 colon-separated-hexadecimal notation.
• For port ethernet port#, use the physical port on the MIO/UMIO/MIO2 card – port 1 or 2.
•
The MIO/UMIO/MIO2 is equipped with RJ-45 (1000Base-T copper) interfaces. The RJ-45 interfaces
connect the system to the management network via CAT3 or CAT5 Ethernet cable.
•
Option: In the Ethernet Port configuration mode, configure the port speed, if needed, by entering the
medium command. Refer to the Command Line Interface Reference for a complete explanation of this
command.
•
In the { ip | ipv6 } route command, other keyword options, instead of the gateway IP address, are
available and include: next-hop IP address, point-to-point, and tunnel.
Verifying and Saving Your Interface and Port Configuration
Verify that your interface configuration settings are correct by entering the following command:
show ip interface
The output from this command should be similar to that shown below. In this example an interface named
mgmt2 was configured in the local context.
Intf Name: mgmt2
Intf Type: Broadcast
Description: management2
VRF: None
IP State: UP (Bound to 5/2)
IP Address: 192.168.100.3 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Bcast Address: 192.168.100.255 MTU: 1500
Resoln Type: ARP ARP timeout: 60 secs
L3 monitor LC-port switchover: Disabled
Number of Secondary Addresses: 0
