FIGURE 57 In-band management in a VCS fabric with dynamic routes (OSPF)
Basic configuration for a standalone in-band management
The following configuration establishes a basic in-band management connection from the management
station to RBridge ID 1 (RB1) through C1. For the purpose of this example, C1 and RB1 operate in
standalone mode (VCS mode is disabled). This example also illustrates the use of a VLAN to establish
a connection.
1. Configure the front-end Ethernet port on RB1 through a serial connection.
a) Connect to RB1 using the serial console.
b) Issue the configure terminal command to enter global configuration mode.
c) Configure a front-end Ethernet port by using the interface vlan vlan_id command.
d) Issue the rbridge-id rbridge-id command to enter RBridge ID configuration mode.
e) Enter the interface ve ve_id command to configure the virtual Ethernet interface (Ve).
The Ve ID must correspond to the existing VLAN ID.
f) Enter the IP address of the interface.
g) Enter the no shutdown command to enable the interface.
h) Enter the do show vcs command to verify that RB1 is in standalone mode and not a part of
a VCS fabric.
