Telnet
If you want to Telnet to a remote switch through the Fa1 port, enter the following command:
Switch# telnet word /vrf mgmtVrf
word IP address or hostname of a remote system
Following is an example illustrating how to use this command:
Switch# telnet 20.20.20.1 /vrf mgmtVrf
Trying 20.20.20.1 ... Open

TFTP
If you want to use Fa1 port for TFTP operation, configure the Fa1 port as the source interface for TFTP
as follows:
Switch(config)# ip tftp source-interface fastEthernet1
FTP
If you want to use an Fa1 port for an FTP operation, configure the Fa1 port as the source interface for
FTP as follows:
Switch(config)# ip ftp source-interface fastEthernet1
SSH
If you want initiate SSH from your switch through the Fa1 port, enter the following command:
Switch# ssh –l login name -vrf mgmtVrf ip address
For example:
Switch# ssh –l xyz -vrf mgmtVrf 20.20.20.1
SSO Model
On a redundant chassis, management port behavior differs from that of a standard Ethernet port in that
each supervisor engine possesses a management port, and only the port on the active supervisor engine
is enabled. The management port on the standby supervisor engine is always disabled; it cannot switch
any kind of traffic.
When a switchover occurs, the management port of the standby supervisor engine (now, active) is
enabled and can be used to switch traffic, while the management port on the “old” active supervisor
engine is disabled.
Note The Cisco IOS configuration for the management port is synchronized between the two supervisor
engines. Under Cisco IOS, they possess the same IP address. To avoid address overlapping during a
switchover on a redundant chassis, you should assign a different IP address on the management port from
the one you assigned to the same port in the ROMMON configuration.
