About Management Port Redundancy
The SCE platform contains two RJ-45 management ports. The two management ports provide the
possibility for a redundant management interface, thus ensuring management access to the SCE platform
even if there is a failure in one of the management links. If a failure is detected in the active management
link, the standby port automatically becomes the new active management port.
Note that both ports must be connected to the management console via a switch. In this way, the IP
address of the MNG port is always the same, regardless of which physical port is currently active.

slot-number/interface-number — The interface number (0/1 or 0/2) of the management port that
is specified as the active port.

Only one port is active at any time.
The same virtual IP address and MAC address are assigned to both ports.
Default:
–
Port 1 = active
–
Port 2 = standby
The standby port sends no packets to the network and packets from the network are discarded.
When a problem in the active port is encountered, the standby port automatically becomes the new
active port.
Link problem, with switch to standby MNG port, is declared after the link is down for 300 msec.
Service does not revert to the default active port if/when that link recovers. The currently active
MNG port remains active until link failure causes a switch to the other MNG port.
