Hi,
Management port can be used for following features:
- Management through SSH / WebUI
- Out of band access to management with AOM
- Logs / SNMP outbound connections if destinations are in same network as Management port or a specific management route was configured
- failover heartbeat
The most critical service is failover heartbeat. The recommended configuration is to define 2 failover networks :
- one HA network
- Management Network
If your deployment is configured with both networks (
Device Management ›› Devices ›› your device ›› Failover
) and HA plan self IPs are defined with Port Lockdown Allow Default
or Allow All
, you can unplug the management port without issue.
