This topic explains dual independent XR management interfaces and the requirements for RJ45 and optical SFP management connectivity on NCS systems.
Dual independent XR interfaces are management Ethernet interfaces that
connect two Ethernet interfaces to different switches in different or same subnets,
use separate MGMT RJ45 and optical SFP MGMT ports to the CPU from Release 6.5.1, and
support management connectivity through MgmtEth0/RP0/CPU0/0 and MgmtEth0/RP0/CPU0/1 .
Management Ethernet interfaces
MgmtEth0/RP0/CPU0/0 represents the RJ45 port.
MgmtEth0/RP0/CPU0/1 represents the SFP port.
iPXE is not supported at power-on over the new optical interface. If you upgraded from a previous release and used only SFP, management connectivity may be lost. In this case, configure the system through the console port. Before using both interfaces, upgrade the BIOS and reload the 0/RP0 location.
