Unless you congure the management route command, you can only access the Management interface from the local LAN. To access
the Management interface from another LAN, congure 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 congured. 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.
Conguring a Management Interface on an Ethernet Port
You can manage the switch from any port.
To congure an IP address for the port, use the following commands. There is no separate management routing table, so congure all
routes in the IP routing table (the ip route command).
• Congure 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 conguration 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.
