That is true, the management port is not routable. We just decided not
to use the management port at all. We allowed certain ports through the
firewall for our NMS to reach the switch and then we use SSH for command
line management. This works great for us and we didn't have to mess
with that dang management port.

Group,
Our company is considering using the new Cisco / Arrowpoint content
switches.
I have been informed that there management connection is not routable,
and as
a result transmission of any packets from the switch to a remote
management
station on another IP sub net is not possible. The management station
must be
on the same IP network.
Can anyone confirm that this is true ?
And has anyone found a solution to this problem ?
I have been thinking about the use of IP helper addresses, but i am not
convinced that this will work. Other thoughts have gone down the procy
route
but i feel that these will lead down a black hole. Unfortunately we
have no
spare kit to get this tested in a lab.
