Chapter 9 Using the Management Ethernet Interface
Common Ethernet Management Tasks
Telnetting over the Management Ethernet Interface
Telnetting can be done through the VRF using the Management Ethernet interface.
In the following example, the router telnets to 172.17.1.1 through the Management Ethernet interface
VRF:
Router#
telnet 172.17.1.1 /vrf Mgmt-intf
Pinging over the Management Ethernet Interface
Pinging other interfaces using the Management Ethernet interface is done through the VRF.
In the following example, the router pings the interface with the IP address of 172.17.1.1 through the
Management Ethernet interface:
Router#
ping vrf Mgmt-intf 172.17.1.1
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 172.17.1.1, timeout is 2 seconds:
.!!!!
Success rate is 80 percent (4/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/1/1 ms
Copy Using TFTP or FTP
To copy a file using TFTP through the Management Ethernet interface, the
ip tftp source-interface
GigabitEthernet 0
command must be entered before entering the
copy tftp
command because the
copy
tftp
command has no option of specifying a VRF name.
Similarly, to copy a file using FTP through the Management Ethernet interface, the
ip ftp
source-interface GigabitEthernet 0
command must be entered before entering the
copy ftp
command
because the
copy ftp
command has no option of specifying a VRF name.
TFTP Example
Router(config)#
ip tftp source-interface gigabitethernet 0
FTP Example
Router(config)#
ip ftp source-interface gigabitethernet 0
NTP Server
To allow the software clock to be synchronized by a Network Time Protocol (NTP) time server over the
Management Ethernet interface, enter the
ntp server vrf Mgmt-intf
command and specify the IP
address of the device providing the update.
The following CLI provides an example of this procedure.
Router(config)#
ntp server vrf Mgmt-intf 172.17.1.1
