Primary Management Interface (PMI) configuration

The Primary Management Interface (PMI) address is the IP address of an interface that you
can specify on the Branch Gateway. The first IP address you configure on the Branch Gateway
automatically becomes the PMI. You can subsequently assign any IP interface to be the
PMI.
The PMI is used as the IP address of the Branch Gateway for the following management
functions:
• Registration of the Branch Gateway to an MGC
• Sending SNMP traps
• Opening telnet sessions from the Branch Gateway
• Sending messages from the Branch Gateway using FTP and TFTP protocol
You can designate any of the Branch Gateway's interfaces to serve as the Branch Gateway's
PMI. The PMI must be an IP address that the MGC recognizes. If you are not sure which
interface to use as the PMI, check with your system administrator.
