6509 Sup-2T management through CMP interface

[g.fabre]

Hello

We acquired recentlty a new Cisco 6509 with Sup-2T supervisor card

My question is the following :

   we have a management subnet on a Copper-based switch; we manage all equipments through this network.

   I planned to configure the management interface on the 6509 to connect this switch & monitor the VSS through it

   However, since it is a CMP interface, most of the actions (SNMP, IOS upgrade.. won't be possible through this link)

   Moreover, I don't think LMS would be able to get the configuration through it (except by configuring a script running "attach" command & show run

Is there something I miss or must I add another interface of the Catalyst to this network (the problem being that I have no copper line card)

I would appreciate your inputs.

Thanks in advance !

did you find out how to reach the CMP since your request?

hi

we finally used a GLC-T SFP on the 1G Supervisor port to connect the switch & configured the management vlan on this interface too.

the funny thing is that we used a temporary solution with SFP+ 10G-LR in order to connect the management switch before we were able to free a 1G port :-)
