management vrf on mangement port
Hello everyone,


I am currently trying to set up management port 1 on netiron with a
management vrf to let the router have a default route for the management
ip only.

However, my device does not install any routes, I even cannot ping the
own ip address, port is shown up.

This is what I did, basic config which should be OK to my understanding?


vrf management
rd 29066:01
address-family ipv6
ipv6 route ::/0 <gw>

int man 1
vrf forwarding management
ipv6 addr <ip>

There is also no change if I set

management-vrf management

or not.



Best regards,

Franz Georg Köhler

What code version are you running? Is this an MLX or something else?

If it's an MLX, I'm assuming you are running 05600b. Have you tried
with an IPv4 address? It seems like IPv6 support lags on new features,
and VRF support for the management interface is new in the 5.6 code.

I think that code is a bit new for most people to be comfortable running
it, so this is probably not a well-tested feature.

Wow, I've been waiting forever for the 'management vrf' to actually work on the management interface. I had to waste money on copper blades just to have a management vrf. I'm happy to hear that finally came about.

Re: management vrf on mangement port [ In reply to ]
Hello,


yes, you are right, this is an MLXe with V5.6.0b.

Unfortunately, I did not have IPV4 connectivity at this time to test this.

But as I never had configured a management VRF, I was curious if there
was some configuration error in my config.


Best regards,

Franz Georg Köhler
