]ICX-Management IP addresses are not configured on the ICX device by default, which means the ICX device attempts to initiate a connection with ICX-Management using ICX-Management IP addresses provided through DHCP Option 43.
Global configuration mode
Use the no form of the manager backup command
to remove the backup ICX-Management IP addresses. Use the no manager backup
command with one IP address to remove only that address. To remove the entire
list,
use the no manager
backup command followed by the entire list.
The ICX device attempts to connect to ICX-Management by sending a query to ICX-Management 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-Management IP addresses configured on
the ICX device using the
manager active-listcommand - DHCP - ICX-Management IP addresses received through DHCP Option 43
- backup-list - Backup ICX-Management IP addresses
configured on the ICX device using the
manager backupcommand
Both "active" and "backup" ICX-Management 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-Management 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 through DHCP Option 43.
The following example configures three backup ICX-Management IP addresses.
device# configure terminal device(config)# manager backup 192.168.11.200 192.168.11.201 192.168.11.202
The following example removes a single IP address from the configured list.
device# configure terminal device(config)# no manager backup 192.168.11.202
