When you configure the application application-type command to configure a set of management applications with
TCP/UDP port numbers to the OS, the following table describes the association between applications and their port numbers.

If you configure a source interface is for any EIS management application, EIS might not coexist with that interface and the
behavior is undefined in such a case. You can configure the source interface for the following applications: FTP, ICMP (ping and
traceroute utilities), NTP, RADIUS, TACACS, Telnet, TFTP, syslog, and SNMP traps. Out of these applications, EIS can coexist
with only syslog and SNMP traps because these applications do not require a response after a packet is sent.
The switch also processes user-specified port numbers for applications such as RADIUS, TACACS, SSH, and sFlow. The OS
maintains a list of configured management applications and their port numbers. You can configure two default routes, one
configured on the management port and the other on the front-end port.
Two tables, namely, Egress Interface Selection routing table and default routing table, are maintained. In the preceding table,
the columns Client and Server indicate that the applications can act as both a client and a server within the switch. The
Management Egress Interface Selection table contains all management routes (connected, static and default route). The default
routing table contains all management routes (connected, static and default route) and all front-end port routes.
Enabling and Disabling Management Egress Interface Selection
You can enable or disable egress-interface-selection using the management egress-interface-selection command.
NOTE: Egress Interface Selection (EIS) works only with IPv4 routing.
When the feature is enabled using the management egress-interface-selection command, the following events are
performed:
