VSX Management Interface

Dedicated Management Interface (DMI)

Uses a separate interface on a VSX Gateway / VSX Cluster Members that is restricted to management traffic, such as provisioning, logging and monitoring.

Note - Dedicated Management Interface (DMI) management is not supported through a physical interface (on the VSX Gateway / VSX Cluster Members) that has one or more VLAN interfaces configured.

Best Practice - Use a DMI for management to segregate management traffic from routine "production" traffic enhanced performance, especially for end users.

Non-Dedicated Management Interface (Non-DMI)

Note - From R81, configuration with a Non-Dedicated Management Interface (Non-DMI, shared interface) is deprecated and not supported.
