We recently purchased two XG 550 appliances. We were trying to get them setup -- and we noticed that they have two MGMT ports, MGMT1 and MGMT2. We also noticed that both MGMT ports were in a bridge group with PortA1 on the 8-port module on the front of the firewall.
With other firewalls and network appliances(such as Arista switches) it is possible to give an appliance a separate management subnet IP address, such as a (172.16.x.x.) address. This is what I would consider a true "out of band" management interface for network appliances.
With the XG550, we cannot figure out how to give the MGMT addresses a gateway. It does seem that we are able to give the bridge an IP address.
So far, we are unable to get access to it from our OOBM switch, although we are able to access Port MGMT1 via a direct connection to a laptop.
Any help much appreciated.
