The management port (mgmt0) is autosensing and operates in full duplex mode at a speed of
10/100/1000 Mbps. Autosensing supports both the speed and the duplex mode. On a Supervisor-1
module, the default speed is 100 Mbps and the default duplex mode is auto. On a Supervisor-2 module,
the default speed is auto and the default duplex mode is auto.
Note You need to explicitly configure a default gateway to connect to the switch and send IP packets or add a
route for each subnet.

Configuring Management Interfaces

To configure the mgmt0 Ethernet interface using Fabric Manager, follow these steps:
Step 1 Select a VSAN in the Logical Domains pane.
Step 2 Expand Switches > Interfaces and then select Management.
You see the interface configuration in the Information pane.
Step 3 Click the General tab.
Step 4 Set the IP Address/Mask field.
Set Admin to up.
Step 5
Optionally, set other configuration parameters using the other tabs.
Step 6
Click Apply Changes.
Step 7
VSAN Interfaces
VSANs apply to Fibre Channel fabrics and enable you to configure multiple isolated SAN topologies
within the same physical infrastructure. You can create an IP interface on top of a VSAN and then use
this interface to send frames to this VSAN. To use this feature, you must configure the IP address for
this VSAN. VSAN interfaces cannot be created for nonexisting VSANs.

Creating VSAN Interfaces, page 20-25
Create a VSAN before creating the interface for that VSAN. If a VSAN does not exist, the interface
cannot be created.
Create the interface VSAN—it is not created automatically.
If you delete the VSAN, the attached interface is automatically deleted.
Configure each interface only in one VSAN.
