ASR920 Management

[nwilson.network]

I'm struggling with how to manage the asr920 remotely. I have a UNI S-port feeding connectivity to the unit. In this s port is a tag that contains a management VLAN. I've tried configuring a c-port, but I kind of figured it wouldn't work connecting that port to the management interface - which it doesn't. I don't have any other boxes I can connect to at this location. Is there a way to create a virtual interface on the unit and have it associated with a uni c port? Or am I going about this in the wrong manner?

Hi, for management you can use a Tacacs Server and configure to use it, also you can review the following document:

Good Luck!

Hi nwilson,

what you can do is to create a specific VRF for management and attach a loopback interface to it. Then redistribute that loopback into BGP.

There is a quick guide of how to implement L3VPN for your use case:
