7800 L1
1. Configure the inband management interfaces.
portcfg mgmtif ge0 create 192.168.1.10 255.255.255.0
2. Configure the inband management route for the management station.
portcfg mgmtroute ge0 create 192.168.3.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.250
7800 R1
1. Configure the inband management interfaces.
portcfg mgmtif ge0 create 192.168.2.20 255.255.255.0
2. Configure the inband management route for the management station.
portcfg mgmtroute ge0 create 192.168.3.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.2.250
Management station
1. Add route entries to access the 7800 external inband management interfaces.
route add 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.3.250
route add 192.168.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.3.250
2. Access the 7800 switches through the external inband management interfaces.
telnet 192.168.1.10
Redundant connections to the management stations example
Figure 16 on page 63 is an example of a redundant connection to the management station.
Because the inband management interfaces do not support a multi-homing stack, unique
addresses must be used on the management station to communicate with different inband
management interfaces. If both management station interfaces are on the same subnet, then
host-specific routes must be added on the 7800 switches.
