ASR 9001 management interfaces

[Vin Daniell]

I need to configure my management interfaces for out-of-band. Do I need to put them in a vrf? The config guide doesn't mention it but is very cryptic. It also says to put a static route (BUT IT'S NOT UNDER A VRF???)  That could potentially break routing?

Any advice would be helpful.

Thanks,

Vin

no special configuration is needed, and you can put the mgmt ports in a vrf, but its not a must. Forwarding between Mgmt port and Linecard Interface ports is disabled by default. From a routing percpetive treat it like any interface.

Hi Vin,

Have you got your management interfaces sorted out with VRF? Do you have A9K-iVRF-LIC installed to enable VRF feature? 

cheers

Hi Marco,

For the VRF license we do not count management or virtual interfaces (loopback, BVI, etc).

Thanks,
