Configuring MGMT Interfaces

You can use the management Ethernet interface to connect the device to a network for remote management using a Telnet client, the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), or other management agents. The management port (mgmt0) is autosensing and operates in full-duplex mode at a speed of 10/100/1000 Mb/s.

For more information, see the Cisco Nexus 9000 Series NX-OS Interfaces Configuration Guide. https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/switches/nexus-9000-series-switches/products-installation-and-configuration-guides-list.html/

Verifying a DME Configuration
The following table contains the distinguished name (DN) for each managed object (MO) in the DME payload. Issue a GET request using the DN to verify the configuration was posted or to get information about the configured properties of a particular object.

MO	DN
topSystem	sys
mgmtMgmtIf	sys/mgmt-{[id]}

mgmtMgmtIf Properties

The following table contains information about the mgmtMgmtIf properties in the DME payload. For more information about the properties and MOs, see the NX-API DME Model Reference linked in the Related Documentation section below.

Property Name	Data Type	Description	Values
descr	naming:Descr1024 (string:Basic)	descr	MAX SIZE: 254
id	nw:IfId (base:IfIndex)	An identifier .	Must match first field in the output of `show intf brief`. Example: Eth1/1 or Vlan100
