Management Interface Configuration
The management interface on the switch allows multiple simultaneous Telnet or SNMP sessions. You
can remotely configure the switch through the management interface (mgmt0), but first you must
configure some IP parameters so that the switch is reachable. You can manually configure the
management interface from the CLI.

About the mgmt0 Interface
The mgmt0 interface on Cisco NX-OS devices provides out-of-band management, which enables you to
manage the device by its IPv4 or IPv6 address. The mgmt0 interface uses 10/100/1000 Ethernet.
Before you begin to configure the management interface manually, obtain the switch's IP address and
Note
subnet mask. Also make sure that the console cable is connected to the console port.

Be aware that the merge is a union of the existing and the received database in each switch in the
fabric.
Do not configure an IP address as a server on one switch and as a peer on another switch. The merge
can fail if this configuration exists.
Verify that the union of the databases does not exceed the maximum limit of 64.
