Name Description
AutoRecoverPort Activates or disables auto recovery of the port from
action taken by CP Limit or link flap features. The
default value is disabled.
Configuring an IP address for the management port
Configure an IP address for the management port so that you can remotely access the device using
the out-of-band (OOB) management port. The management port runs on a dedicated VRF.
The configured IP subnet has to be globally unique because the management protocols can go
through in-band (Global Router) or out-of-band ports (Management VRF).
Before you begin
• You must make a direct connection through the console port to configure a new IP address. If
you connect remotely, you can view or delete the existing IP address configuration. If you
delete the IP address remotely, you lose the EDM connection to the device.
• Do not configure a default route in the Management VRF.
• If you want out-of-band management, Avaya recommends that you define a specific static
route in the Management Router VRF to the IP subnet where your management application
resides.
• If you initiate an FTP session from a client device behind a firewall, you should set FTP to
passive mode.
• The switch gives priority to out-of-band management when there is reachability from both in-
band and out-of-band. To avoid a potential conflict, do not configure any overlapping between
in-band and out-of-band networks.
About this task
Configure an IP address for the management port so that you can remotely access the device using
the out-of-band (OOB) management port. The management port runs on a dedicated VRF and
Avaya recommends that you redirect all commands that are run on the management port to its VRF.
The configured IP subnet has to be globally unique because the management protocols can go
through in-band or out-of-band ports.
Note:
Avaya recommends that you do not configure a default route in the Management VRF and
instead use a static route. Inbound FTP does not work when a default route is configured at the
Management VRF.
When you initiate FTP, you should also set FTP to passive mode.
Procedure
1. In the navigation tree, expand the following folders: Configuration > VRF Context View.
2. Click Set VRF Context View.
3. Select MgmtRouter, VRF 512.
