Mate Management Access (IP Forwarding) (CLI)
Mate Management Access enables the use of in-band management for nodes that
use two IP-20C or IP-20C-HP units (4x4 MIMO, 2+2 XPIC, and 4+0 Multi-Carrier
ABC), where traffic comes from an external switch operating in LAG mode. When
Mate Management Access is enabled, the two units exchange incoming
management packets, ensuring that all management data is received by both
units.
Note:
Mate Management Access can be used regardless of whether the
unit’s IP address is in IPv4 or IPv6 format.
Mate Management Access should only be enabled for nodes receiving traffic from
a LAG, where in-band management is to be used. If either of these conditions is
not present, Mate Management Access should be disabled. By default, the feature
is disabled.
The following are the requirements for using Mate Management Access:
•
The management ports of both IP-20 units must be connected by a protection
cable. The cable can be ordered in a variety of sizes, depending on the
distance between the two IP-20 units. See
•
To ensure proper convergence after failure events, Automatic State
Propagation must be enabled on both units at the local node and both units at
the remote node. See
Configuring Automatic State Propagation and Link Loss
•
Mate Management Access must be enabled on both units at the local node
and both units at the remote node. On each unit, Mate Management Access
must be enabled before configuring in-band management.
