Setting the PMI of the Branch Gateway

Last Updated : Jun 07, 2023 |

About this task

Use this procedure to set the PMI of the Branch Gateway.

Procedure

  1. Type the interface command to enter the interface context to which you want to set the PMI (primary management interface).

    For example, to use the VLAN 1 interface as the PMI, enter interface vlan 1.

    Note:

    If the interface is not defined, define it at this step.

  2. Type one of the following:

    • pmi for an IPv4 PMI.

    • pmi6 for an IPv6 PMI.

  3. To return to the general context, type the exit command.
  4. To save the new PMI in the startup configuration file, enter the copy running-config startup-config command.
  5. To reset the Branch Gateway, enter the reset command.
    Note:

    Most configuration changes take effect as soon as you make the change, but must be saved to the startup configuration file to remain in effect after you reset the Branch Gateway. The PMI address is an exception. A change to the PMI does not take effect at all until you reset the Branch Gateway.

  6. To verify the new PMI, enter show pmi in the general context.

    If you use this command before you reset the Branch Gateway, the following occurs:

    • Active PMI, Active PMI6, and Configured PMI display.

    • Active and the Configured PMI must be the same IP address.
