2. C1 is a management station and automatically Telnets into node RB1.
3. Verify that the in-band management connection between the management station to C1, and
between C1and RB1 (standalone test).
a)
Connect to C1 through the management interface by using an SSH session.
b) On C1, establish a Telnet connection from C1 to RB1.
C1# telnet 2.2.2.17/24
Trying 2.2.2.17...
Connected to 2.2.17.24.
Escape character is '^]'.
You are now logged in to RB1 (note the prompt change).
c) Verify the Telnet notification on RB1.
RB1# 1970/01/01-02:16:27, [SEC-1203], 13406, M1, INFO, RB1, Login
information: Login successful via TELNET/SSH/RSH. IP Addr: 2.2.17.24
d) Through the Telnet in-band management connection from C1, verify that RB1 is in
standalone mode.
RB1# show vcs
state : Disabled
You can now perform in-band management functions on RB1 through the management
interface SSH connection to C1, such as downloading firmware or managing SNMP.
Configuring a management connection in VCS fabric cluster mode
The following configuration establishes an in-band management connection from a management
station (MS) to C1, and from C1 to RB1 and RB2. RB1 is the local switch, RB2 is the remote switch.
Both switches operate in VCS-enabled mode.
1. Set up an OSPF network (area 0) on RB1 to enable dynamic routing by using the following
procedure.
a)
Connect to RB1 by using a serial connection.
b) Issue the configure terminal command to enter global configuration mode.
c) Enter the interface vlan command to configure a VLAN on RB1.
RB1# configure terminal
Entering configuration mode terminal.
RB1(config)# interface vlan 100
d) Issue the rbridge-id rbridge-id command to enter RBridge ID configuration mode.
e) Configure OSPF by using the router ospf command followed by the area command. Enter
0 to configure OSPF area 0.
f) Enter the exit command to return to RBridge ID configuration mode.
RB1(config-Vlan-100)# rbridge-id 17
RB1(config-rbridge-id-17)# router ospf
RB1(conf-ospf-router)# area 0
RB1(conf-ospf-router)# exit
RB1(config-rbridge-id-17)#
g) Configure a virtual Ethernet interface for the VLAN and assign the IP address for RB1.
h) Set OSPF area 0 with the ip ospf area command.
i) Enter the no shutdown command to enable the interface.
RB1(config-rbridge-id-17)# interface ve 100
RB1(config-Ve-100)# ip address 100.100.100.17/24
RB1(config-Ve-100)# ip ospf area 0
RB1(config-Ve-100)# no shutdown
2. Set up an OSPF network (area 0) on RB2 to enable dynamic routing. The configuration steps mirror
the configuration on RB1.
