| 7.2.5 | MLS management interface |
| When a RSM or router is configured to
participate in multilayer switching, the device uses the MLSP to
send hello messages, advertise routing changes, and announce the
VLANs or MAC addresses of those interfaces on devices participating
in MLS. One interface on the MLS-RP must be identified as the
management interface through which MLSP packets are sent and
received. The MLSP management interface can be any MLS interface
connected to the switch.
Only one management interface needs to be specified; however, if no management interface is configured, MLSP messages will not be sent. Note: Multiple interfaces on the same Route Processor can be configured as a management interface; however, this action increases the management overhead per Route Processor. To identify a management interface on an RSM or router, enter the following command in interface configuration mode.
To disable the management interface, enter the no mls rp management-interface command in interface configuration mode. |
