Management VRF overview
• SNMP server
• SNMP trap generator
• Telnet server
• SSH server
• Telnet client
• RADIUS client
• TACACS+ client
• TFTP
• SCP
• Syslog
NOTE
The management VRF is not applicable to inbound and outbound traffic of the ping and traceroute
commands. These commands use the VRF specified in the command or the default VRF, if no VRF
is specified.
Source interface and management VRF compatibility
There is a source interface configuration associated with the management applications. When a
source interface is configured, the management applications use the lowest configured IP address
of the specified interface as source IP address in all the outgoing packets. If the configured
interface is not part of the management VRF, the response packet will not reach the destination. If
the compatibility check fails while configuring either the management VRF or the source interface,
the following warning message will be displayed. However, the configuration command will be
accepted.
The source-interface for Telnet, TFTP is not part of the management-vrf
Supported management applications
This section explains the management VRF support provided by the management applications.
SNMP server
When the management VRF is configured, the SNMP server receives SNMP requests and sends
SNMP responses only through the ports belonging to the management VRF and through the
out-of-band management port.
Any change in the management VRF configuration becomes immediately effective for the SNMP
server.
SNMP trap generator
When the management VRF is configured, the SNMP trap generator sends traps to trap hosts
through the ports belonging to the management VRF and through the out-of-band management
port.
Any change in the management VRF configuration becomes immediately effective for the SNMP
trap generator.
