Nov 06, 2008how to disable management interface.
hi,
does anybody know to disable the management interface ?
"b interface mgmt disable " disables the interface temporarily but it doesn't persist across reboots...

Nov 06, 2008If you disable the mgmt interface and then save the change using b base save, it should persist through reboots.
The SCCP trick you referred to could be:
1. ssh to sccp
ssh sccp
2. back up rc.network file
cp -p /etc/rc.network /etc/rc.network.orig
3. back up nvfiles.manifest file
cp -p /etc/nvfiles.manifest /etc/nvfiles.manifest.orig
4. Add rc.network to nvfiles.manifest
echo "/etc/rc.network" >> /etc/nvfiles.manifest
5. Disable eth0
echo "ifconfig eth0 down" >> /etc/rc.network
6. Initialize the change
/etc/rc.network
Making this change on the SCCP won't change the b interface mgmt output to show disabled--though using b interface mgmt disable will.
