Description

Switch is not showing the desired IP address on the dashboard, instead is showing any other valid IP address:

 



Symptoms

Switch shows any valid L3 IP address on the dashboard instead of the desired one.

Solution

As per Mist current implementation, the device will show the IP address of the switch with precedence as follows: (if IP address exists for all the interfaces):


  1. Management interface IP (me0/vme0/em0)
  2. Loopback (lowest preferred)
  3. Logical (IRB) (Lowest Preferred)
  4. Physical (Lowest IP Preferred)

As per today, there's no option to selectively display a desired IP address, but instead switch will follow this order explained above.
