Traffic Management Services
In-band options are compliant with and use the RFC 2625 standards. An NMS host running IP protocol
over a FC interface can access the switch using the IPFC functionality. If the NMS does not have a Fibre
Channel HBA, in-band management can still be performed using one of the switches as an access point
to the fabric (see
Figure 36-1
Management Interface Configuration
On director class switches, a single IP address is used to manage the switch. The active supervisor
module's management (mgmt0) interface uses this IP address. The mgmt0 interface on the standby
supervisor module remains in an inactive state and cannot be accessed until a switchover happens. After
a switchover, the mgmt0 interface on the standby supervisor module becomes active and assumes the
same IP address as the previously-active supervisor module.
The management interface on the switch allows multiple simultaneous Telnet or SNMP sessions. You
can remotely configure the switch through the management interface, but first you must configure some
IP parameters (IP address, subnet mask) so that the switch is reachable. You can manually configure the
management interface from the CLI.
