NCS Interface Communication

[CSCO11733516]

Hey Guys-

          Pertaining to the Prime NCS (1.2.1.12) Appliance, I notice that there are 3 interfaces located on the actual appliance (MGMT, 01, & 02).  However, when I am in the IOS, and issue a show interfaces, I do not see anything pertaining a 3rd interface.

The output displays:  gi0, gi1, lo1, sit0, and usb0

I am not aware of what is referencing MGMT, 01, or 02 - does anyone know?

When I try to go and configure interface gi2 or gi3, I get back config interface 'no configuration' failed for GigabitEthernet X

So this is making me think that there is no way to utilize all 3 ports.  Does anyone have any information pertaining to this?

In addition, what ports are recommended to use and for what?  I am not seeing anything in the configuration guide.  I was thinking to use the MGMT for management and then the other 2 interfaces (if possible) for data/communication on the network.

Any information would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks.

Only one is used and that is Ethernet 1.

•IMM 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port: For use in a future release.
•Ethernet connectors: Use Ethernet 1 to connect the Cisco Prime Infrastructure appliance to a network.

Thanks Scott. Is this not configurable due to the IOS not being able to utilize the interface?

It is not and its probably how Cisco designed it.
