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).
• Configure an IP address.
INTERFACE mode
ip address
• Enable the interface.
INTERFACE mode
no shutdown
• The interface is the management interface.

Example of the show interface and show ip route Commands
To display the configuration for a given port, use the show interface command in EXEC Privilege mode, as shown in the
following example. To display the routing table, use the show ip route command in EXEC Privilege mode.
