Chapter 5 Configuring the Management Interface and Security
Configuring Management Interface Redundancy
How to Configure the Management Ports for Redundancy
Step 1 Cable both management ports (Mng 1 and Mng 2), connecting them both to the remote management
console via the LAN and via a switch.
Using the switch ensures that the IP address of the MNG port is always the same, regardless of which
physical port is currently active
Step 2 Configure the automatic fail-over mode.
See Configuring the Fail-Over Mode, page 5-8.
Step 3 Configure the IP address for the management interface.
The same IP address will always be assigned to the active management port, regardless of which physical
port is currently active.
See Setting the IP Address and Subnet Mask of the Management Interface, page 5-4.
Step 4 Configure the speed and duplex for both management ports.
See Configuring the Management Interface Speed and Duplex Parameters, page 5-5.
Configuring the Fail-Over Mode
• Options, page 5-8
• How to Enable Automatic Fail-Over Mode, page 5-8
• How to Disable Automatic Fail-Over Mode, page 5-9
Use the following command to enable automatic fail-over. The automatic mode must be enabled to
support management interface redundancy. This mode automatically switches to the backup
management link when a failure is detected in the currently active management link.
This parameter can be configured when in management interface configuration mode for either
management port, and is applied to both ports with one command.
Options
The following options are available:
• auto/ no auto — Enable or disable automatic fail-over switching mode
–
Default — auto (automatic mode)
How to Enable Automatic Fail-Over Mode
