Static Management Configuration for Cisco vs Juniper vs Huawei Comparison

Here’s the sample configuration for setting up the management port for different router platforms using static route.


Assuming we have this IP configuration:
RSP0/RE0 Physical IP : 10.10.10.98/24
RSP1/RE1 Physical IP: 10.10.10.99/24
Virtual IP: 10.10.10.100/24
Gateway: 10.10.10.1/24

Note: It is advisable to connect the management plane connectivity to another network separate from data/voice network.
