Chapter 7: Chassis operations
The following sections provide information for chassis operations such as hardware and software
compatibility.
Chassis operations fundamentals
This section provides conceptual information for chassis operations such as hardware and software
compatibility and power management. Read this section before you configure the chassis
operations.
Management port
The management port is a 10/100/1000 Mb/s Ethernet port that you can use for an out-of-band
management connection to the switch.
To remotely access the switch using the management port, you have to configure an IP address for
the management port.
Management Router VRF
The switch has a separate VRF called Management Router (MgmtRouter) reserved for OAM (mgmt)
port.. The configured IP subnet has to be globally unique because the management protocols, for
example, SNMP, Telnet, and FTP, can go through in-band or out-of-band ports. The VRF ID for the
Management Router is 512.
The switch never switches or routes transit packets between the Management Router VRF port and
the Global Router VRF, or between the Management Router VRF and other VRF ports.
Avaya honors the VRF of the ingress packet; however, in no circumstance does the switch allow
routing between the Management VRF and Global Router VRF. The switch does not support the
configuration if you have an out-of-band management network with access to the same networks
present in the GRT routing table.
Non-virtualized client management applications
Avaya recommends that you do not define a default route in the Management Router VRF. A route
originating from the switch and used for non-virtualized client management applications, such as
Telnet, Secure Shell (SSH), and FTP will always match a default route defined in the Management
Router VRF.
