Application Name

If you configure a source interface is for any EIS management application, EIS might not coexist with that interface and the behavior is

undefined in such a case. You can configure the source interface for the following applications: FTP, ICMP (ping and traceroute utilities),

NTP, RADIUS, TACACS, Telnet, TFTP, syslog, and SNMP traps. Out of these applications, EIS can coexist with only syslog and SNMP traps

because these applications do not require a response after a packet is sent.

The switch also processes user-specified port numbers for applications such as RADIUS, TACACS, SSH, and sFlow. The OS maintains a list

of configured management applications and their port numbers. You can configure two default routes, one configured on the management

port and the other on the front-end port.

Two tables, namely, Egress Interface Selection routing table and default routing table, are maintained. In the preceding table, the columns

Client and Server indicate that the applications can act as both a client and a server within the switch. The Management Egress Interface

Selection table contains all management routes (connected, static and default route). The default routing table contains all management

routes (connected, static and default route) and all front-end port routes.

Enabling and Disabling Management Egress Interface Selection

You can enable or disable egress-interface-selection using the management egress-interface-selection command.

Egress Interface Selection (EIS) works only with IPv4 routing.

When the feature is enabled using the management egress-interface-selection command, the following events are performed:

The CLI prompt changes to the EIS mode.

In this mode, you can run the application and no application commands

Applications can be configured or unconfigured as management applications using the application or no application

command. All configured applications are considered as management applications and the rest of them as non-management

applications.

All the management routes (connected, static and default) are duplicated and added to the management EIS routing table.

Any new management route added is installed to both the EIS routing table and default routing table.
