Chapter 8 Configuring Interfaces
Using the Ethernet Management Port
ISSU Model
In SSO mode, the running configurations on the active and standby supervisor engines must match. You
cannot enable the management port on a redundant chassis if one of the two supervisor engines is
running an Cisco IOS image prior to Cisco IOS Release 12.2(50)SG (wherein a management port is not
supported).
When you perform an ISSU upgrade or downgrade between Cisco IOS Release 12.2(50)SG and a
software image prior to Cisco IOS Release 12.2(50)SG, we automatically disable the management port.
The port configuration is restored when both software images running on the supervisor engines are at
least Cisco IOS Release 12.2(50)SG. A warning message is also displayed.

Caution Before enabling a feature on the Ethernet management port, ensure that the feature is supported. If you
try to configure an unsupported feature on an Ethernet management port, the feature might not work
properly, and the switch might fail.
Configuring the Ethernet Management Port
To specify the Ethernet management port, enter fastethernet1.
To disable the port, use the shutdown interface configuration command. To enable the port, use the
no shutdown interface configuration command.
To determine the link status to the PC, you can monitor the LED for the Ethernet management port:
