About this task
You can assign a VRF instance to a port after you configure the VRF. The system assigns ports to
the Global Router, VRF 0, by default.
Procedure
1. Enter Interface Configuration mode:
enable
configure terminal
interface GigabitEthernet {slot/port[/sub-port][-slot/port[/sub-
port]][,...]} or interface vlan <1–4059>
Note:
If your platform supports channelization for 40 Gbps ports and the port is channelized,
you must also specify the sub-port in the format slot/port/sub-port.
2. Associate a VRF instance with a port:
vrf <WORD 1-16>
Example
Switch:1> enable
Switch:1# configure terminal
Switch:1(config)# interface gigabitethernet 1/12
Switch:1(config-if)# vrf red
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
• 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.
