Management IP and default gateway VSS

[Berz123]

Hi All,

I have a query reguarding a L3 switch running VSS.

I am migrating from an old config where HSRP was used on the vlan inerfaces between 2 x switches.

interface Vlan10
 description VLAN-AD-MANAGE-10
 ip address 10.1.10.4 255.255.255.0
 no ip redirects
 no ip unreachables
 no ip proxy-arp
 ip pim sparse-dense-mode
 standby 10 ip 10.1.10.1
 standby 10 priority 250
 standby 10 preempt
 standby 10 name VLAN-AD-MANAGE-10

Now that we are running VSS, HSRP is no longer needed I want to remove that config.

The ip address 10.1.10.1 is current default gateway for the Management VLAN of our switches.

The 10.1.10.4 ip address is the management IP address of the VSS core.

Is it okay if the default gateway for the management vlan and the device management ip address are using the same IP on the VSS core?

e.g.

interface Vlan10
no standby 10 ip 10.1.10.1
no standby 10 priority 250
no standby 10 preempt
no standby 10 name VLAN-AD-MANAGE-10

no ip address 10.1.10.4 255.255.255.0
ip address 10.1.10.1 255.255.255.0
!

Hello,

You are doing correctly. IP address of  10.1.10.1 is shared between two VSS switches and can be used for managment purpose if it is for managment VLAN. Other devices default gateway can be set to this IP address.
