manager active-list

Configures the ICX-manager IP addresses that the ICX device uses to initiate a connection with the ICX-Manager.
Syntax
manager active-list{ip-address}[ip-address2][ip-address3]
no manager active-list{ip-address}[ip-address2][ip-address3]
Command Default

ICX-Manager IP addresses are not configured on the ICX device, which means the ICX device attempts to initiate a connection with the ICX-Manager using the ICX-Manager IP addresses provided through DHCP Option 43.

Parameters
ip-address
The first ICX-Manager IP address to which the ICX device attempts to connect.
ip-address2
ICX-Manager IP address that the ICX device attempts to connect with if the first address does not work.
ip-address3
ICX-Manager IP address that the ICX device attempts to connect with if the first two addresses do not work.
Modes

Global configuration mode

Usage Guidelines

Use the no form of the manager active-list command to remove the ICX-Manager IP addresses. Use the no manager active-list command with one IP address to remove only that address. To remove the entire list, use the no manager active-list command followed by the entire list.

The ICX device attempts to connect to the ICX-Manager by sending a query to the ICX-Manager IP addresses in the following order:

  • switch registrar - IP address or fully qualified domain name (FQDN) received from the switch registrar (if enabled)
  • active-list - ICX-Manager IP addresses configured on the ICX device using the manager active-list command
  • DHCP - ICX-Manager IP addresses received through DHCP Option 43
  • backup-list - ICX-Manager backup IP addresses configured on the ICX device using the manager backup command

Both "active" and "backup" ICX-Manager IP addresses can be configured on the ICX device. Active IP addresses are given the highest priority; backup IP addresses are lower priority and are provided for redundancy.

If the ICX-Manager active-list IP addresses are both configured on the ICX device and provided by DHCP Option 43, the configured list on the ICX device takes priority over DHCP Option 43. If none of the IP addresses in the configured list are reachable, the ICX device tries to reach the addresses received by DHCP Option 43.

Examples

The following example configures three active ICX-Manager IP addresses. The ICX device attempts to create a connection beginning with the first IP address. If the attempt fails, the ICX device moves to the second and then the third IP address. 

device# configure terminal
device(config)# manager active-list 192.168.11.200 192.168.11.201 192.168.11.202

The following example removes a single IP address from the configured active-list. 

device# configure terminal
device(config)# no manager active-list 192.168.11.202

The following example removes the entire active-list. 

device# configure terminal
device(config)# no manager active-list 192.168.11.200 192.168.11.201 192.168.11.202
