Comprehensive and Detailed In-Depth
Management port and HA pair in NIOS:
Setup: The MGMT port (separate from LAN1) is for out-of-band access (e.g., SSH, GUI) to individual
nodes, not the HA VIP.
VIP Role: The Virtual IP (LAN1) serves DNS/DHCP and GUI access in-band, not via MGMT.
Why False: MGMT port IPs (e.g., 192.168.2.101, 192.168.2.102) are node-specific—VIP (e.g.,
192.168.1.100) isn’t routable via MGMT. GUI access uses LAN1 VIP or node IPs, not MGMT VIP.
Practical Example: In an INE lab, access GUI via LAN1 VIP (not MGMT), test MGMT SSH, and
troubleshoot port confusion.
