How-to configure Sup2T management ports in a dual-sup chassis?

[bgfl-tech]

Hi,

We've just invested in a pair of Sup2Ts to upgrade a Sup720 6509 chassis but I'm unsure exactly how the management port(s), aka the

Connectivity Management Processor (CMP), should be configured (and patched) in a dual supervisor system?

Is each CMP an independent entity or is the management interface configuration (IP address, gateway, etc) replicated between supervisors?

If it's the latter then do both management ports need to be physically connected at the same time?

Thanks in advance

CMP should be treated as a separate entity and there is no replication of such information between supervisors.

For more information, please refer to the documentation:
