Logging Into the Switch Setting the EMP Port’s IP Address
OmniSwitch AOS Release 7 Switch Management Guide March 2015 page 2-7
Setting the EMP Port’s IP Address
In order to access the switch through the EMP port the port's default IP and network mask should be
changed. There are multiple IP addresses to consider when configuring the EMP port.
• The EMP IP address shared between both CMMs, stored in the boot.cfg file.
• The Primary or Secondary’s CMM’s IP address, stored in NVRAM. (Not required for remote access)
Only the shared EMP IP address stored in the boot.cfg file is required for remote access to the switch.
However, in some troubleshooting scenarios having an IP address associated to a specific CMM may be
helpful. The following should be noted if configuring an IP address stored in NVRAM:
• All the EMP IP addresses and CMM’s IP addreses must be in the same subnet.
• Each of the IP addresses must be unique.
• Changes stored in NVRAM will remain with the CMM if the CMM is moved to a different chassis.
Modifying the Shared EMP IP Address
Use the ip interface command to modify the shared EMP IP address as shown below.
-> ip interface emp address 198.51.100.100 mask 255.255.0.0
Changes made using the ip interface command are stored in the boot.cfg file.
Modifying the Primary or Secondary CMM’s EMP Port IP
Address
Must be connected to the associated CMM’s console port before attempting to change IP address informa-
tion using the modify boot parameters command as shown below:
-> modify boot parameters
Boot > boot empipaddr 198.51.100.2
Boot > boot empmasklength 16
Boot > show
EMP IP Address: 198.51.100.2/16
(additional table output not shown)
Boot > commit system
Boot > commit boot
Boot > exit
If you use the commit system command only, changes will not be saved to the switch's non-volatile
memory and will be lost if the switch is rebooted.
