Objective: To separate management traffic from data/customer traffic on your Cisco Catalyst 4500 L3 Switch Preferably, Data and Management are into 2 separate network domains. Pre-requisite: UTP cable to connect to management port (via FastEthernet 1) and the other end is connected to a network switch to access the OOB management gateway Tested on Cisco IOS Version 15.1 (Cisco Catalyst 4948E) * * Management IP Configuration* *  1.

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 : 10.10.10.98/24RSP1/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.

One of the best security practices in networking is separation of management traffic and data/control traffic. One way to achieve this is to use the management ports of Juniper devices to physically connect it preferably to different network. The management Ethernet interface is usually em0 or fxp0 in Juniper, and provides out-of-band(OOB)management network of the device. Assuming UTP cables are already connected to both management ports of both routing engine (RE) of the Juniper devices, here are the steps to…
