Configuring a global management VRF
SCP
SCP uses SSH as underlying transport. The behavior of SCP is similar to the SSH server. For more
information, refer to
“SSH server” on page 397.
Syslog
When the management VRF is configured, the Syslog module sends log messages only through the
ports belonging to the management VRF and the out-of-band management port.
Any change in the management VRF configuration will be immediately effective for Syslog.
NOTE
The Syslog source interface configuration command ip syslog source-interface must be compatible
with the management VRF configuration. Refer to
“Source interface and management VRF
compatibility” on page 396.
Configuring a global management VRF
To configure a VRF as a global management VRF, enter the following command.
Brocade(config)# management-vrf mvrf
Syntax: [no] management-vrf vrf-name
The vrf-name parameter specifies the name of the pre-configured VRF. If the VRF is not
pre-configured, the command execution fails and displays the following error message.
Error - VRF <vrf-name> doesn't exist
When the management VRF is configured, the software generates the following Syslog message.
SYSLOG: VRF <vrf-name> has been configured as management-vrf
Enter the no form of the command to remove the management VRF. When the management VRF is
deleted, the software generates the following Syslog message.
SYSLOG: VRF <vrf-name> has been un-configured as management-vrf
Configuration notes
Consider the following configuration notes:
• If there is a management VRF already configured, you must remove the existing management
VRF configuration before configuring a new one. If not, the system displays the following error
message.
Brocade(config)# management-vrf red
Error - VRF mvrf already configured as management-vrf
• If you try to delete a management VRF that was not configured, the system displays the
following error message.
Brocade(config)# no management-vrf red
Error - VRF red is not the current management-vrf
