• across a platform must be in the same subnet.
• must not match the virtual IP address and must not be in the same subnet as the virtual IP.

Unless you configure the management route command, you can only access the Management interface
from the local LAN. To access the Management interface from another LAN, configure the management
route command to point to the Management interface.
A virtual IP is an IP address assigned to the system (not to any management interfaces) and is a
CONFIGURATION mode command. When a virtual IP address is assigned to the system, the management
interface is recognized by the virtual IP address — not by the actual interface IP address assigned to it.
• virtual-ip is a CONFIGURATION mode command.
• Executing the show interfaces and show ip interface brief commands on the management
interface displays the virtual IP address and not the actual IP address assigned on that interface.
• The management interface uses only the virtual IP address if it is configured. The system cannot be
accessed through the native IP address of the management interface.
• After the virtual IP address is removed, the system is accessible through the native IP address of the
management interface.
• Primary and secondary management interface IP and virtual IP must be in the same subnet.
To view the Management port, use the show interface Managementethernet command in EXEC
Privilege mode.
Configuring a Management Interface on an
Ethernet Port
You can manage the switch from any port.
To configure an IP address for the port, use the following commands. There is no separate management
routing table, so configure all routes in the IP routing table (the ip route command).
