Use this command to enable or disable ether2 as the dedicated management interface for the MTP Management Appliance.
By default, ether2 is administratively disabled, and all traffic to and from the appliance flows through ether1. If you need to physically segregate MTP management traffic, you can enable ether2 for this purpose.
In order to enable MTP management on the secondary interface, ether2 must be administratively enabled, and it must be configured with an IP address and default gateway on a reachable network.
To view the status of the ether2 interface, use the show interfaces ether2 command.
Syntax
msm mgmt-interface {false | true}Parameters
false
Do not manage the appliance on ether2. This is the default setting. Running the command with this option causes the msm and httpd processes to restart.
true
Manage the appliance on ether2. Running the command with this option causes the msm and httpd processes to restart.
