Configuring the Management Interface
You can manually configure the management interface from the CLI. You can configure the mgmt 0 interface
with either IPv4 address parameters or an IPv6 address.
You only need to configure the mgmt0 interface on the active supervisor module. When a supervisor
Note
module switchover occurs, the new active supervisor module uses the same configuration for the mgmt0
interface.
