The switch itself was reachable through the management network, so the basic management path initially appeared to be working.

Management interface: mgmt0 Management routing: management VRF Remote syslog transport: UDP 514 Remote syslog severity: notifications Remote syslog facility: local7 NTP was also configured through the same management interface and management VRF, and NTP communication was working normally. ntp server <NTP-SERVER-IP...
