Management Interfaces

When you set up your device, you specify the IP address that you want to connect to. Both management and event traffic go to this address at initial registration.

Note	In some situations, the device might establish the initial connection on a different management interface; subsequent connections should use the management interface with the specified IP address.

If the device has a separate event-only interface, the managed device sends subsequent event traffic is sent to the event-only interface if the network allows. In addition, some managed-device models include an additional management interface that you can configure for event-only traffic.

Note	Note that if you configure a data interface for management, you cannot use separate management and event interfaces.

If the event network goes down, then event traffic reverts to the regular management interfaces on the the managed device.
