Two 5400R management interface

  • 1.  Two 5400R management interface

    Posted Jan 17, 2020 10:38 AM

    Hello,

    I have two HPE 5400R with one management module each. I would like to have one management IP address to configure both devices. In addition, if one management module fails or management cable is disconnected, I would like the other management module replies for configuration.

    I've tried with two configuration:

     - First configuration:

    oobm
    ip address 10.31.228.226 255.255.255.0
    vsf member 1
    no ip address
    exit
    vsf member 2
    no ip address
    exit
    exit

    Results: When I disconnect the management cable from the member 1, I can't access to the management interface. There is no icmp replies either.

     - Second configuration:

    oobm
    no ip address
    vsf member 1
    ip address 10.31.228.225 255.255.255.0
    exit
    vsf member 2
    ip address 10.31.228.226 255.255.255.0
    exit
    exit

    CORE(oobm)# show oobm ip vsf member 1

    IPv4 Status : Disabled
    IPv4 Default Gateway :

    | Address Interface
    VSF-member | IP Config IP Address/Prefix Length Status Status
    ---------- + --------- ------------------------- -------- ---------
    1 | disabled 10.31.228.225/24 Active Up

    CORE(oobm)# show oobm ip vsf member 2

    IPv4 Status : Disabled
    IPv4 Default Gateway :

    | Address Interface
    VSF-member | IP Config IP Address/Prefix Length Status Status
    ---------- + --------- ------------------------- -------- ---------
    2 | manual 10.31.228.226/24 Active Up

    Results: I can't access to any management IP address. However, There is ICMP replies from 10.31.228.226.

     

    I don't know what are the best practices and the best configuration with two 5400R and one management module each.

    Any recomendation?

    Thanks, best regards.

    David.
