After creating a management interface on a device, when I click on the device to look at the interface I just created, it still says that a management interface is not defined. Has anyone encountered this problem?

Also, is there any way to connect an interface to a vlan?

Thanks!

Make sure the "OOB Management" box is checked when creating the management interface. Otherwise, it will appear in the list of regular interfaces to the right.

Not currently.

Thank you Jeremy, that fixed my issue.

Do you think that connecting interfaces to vlans may be a future possibility?

That might get a little too complicated to be useful. An interface can participate in zero, one, or multiple VLANs. Further, we have a roundabout association between interface and VLAN as interface <- IP address -> prefix -> VLAN, which could potentially conflict with a direct mapping. Would have to give this a lot more thought.

Looks like #150 already covers this.
