loopback management

p11l
Level 1
Level 1

Hi all,

does anyone know what i should to do if i want to change the management address seen in inventory view to another adress like a loopback?

I already detect the setting at the inventory->edit device->management ip.

My first inventory device has following looback 0 address:

#sh ip int br | ex un
Interface IP-Address OK? Method Status Protocol
Vlan1 192.168.10.1 YES NVRAM up up
GigabitEthernet1/0/1 192.168.0.2 YES NVRAM up up
Loopback0 172.16.103.2 YES NVRAM up up
Loopback10 172.16.103.35 YES manual up up

#show run interface Loopback0
description Fabric Node Router ID
ip address 172.16.103.2 255.255.255.255
ip router isis
clns mtu 1400

My second device with following loopback 0 adress:

#sh ip int br | ex un
Interface IP-Address OK? Method Status Protocol
Vlan1 192.168.10.3 YES DHCP up up
Loopback0 172.16.103.30 YES manual up up

#show run interface Loopback0
description test template
ip address 172.16.103.30 255.255.255.255

Vlan 1 is from lan automation pool.

I changed for 1st device address to loopback 0 -> reachable

I changed for 2nd device adress to loopback 0 -> unreachable

I can ping from 2nd to 1st device (loopback) bot don't from 1st to 2nd.

 

I think it is important to set a static loopback adress as the management because after i restarted the dnac appliance my assigned address from a dhcp lan pool changed for every device to another adress.

Is it necessary to add any isis routes for loopback?

Thanks for your help.

as Long as the Loopback in Routing table  and reachable - you can use Loopback for managment.

I must manually add loopback address to any routing protocol?

Like isis or static routing?

just add network statement in the IGP Routing protocol
