IP Addressing Commands

Dell Networking N2000/N3000/N4000 Series Switches

Interfaces on the Dell Networking switches support a variety of capabilities to

support management of the switch. In addition to performing switching and

routing of network traffic, Dell Networking switches act as a host for

management of the switch. Commands in this category allow the network

operator to configure the local host address, utilize the embedded DHCP

client to obtain an address, resolve names to addresses using DNS servers, and

detect address conflicts on the local subnet.

There are two management interface types on Dell Networking switches. In-

band interfaces allow management of the switch through the network

switching/routing interfaces. Out-of-band management is always through the

dedicated out-of-band interface. The serial port on the stack master provides

a direct console interface supporting a CLI. In-band management interfaces

can employ a variety of protection mechanisms including VLAN assignment

and Management ACLs. The out-of-band port does not support such

protection mechanisms and, therefore, it is recommended that the out-of-

band interface only be connected to a physically segregated management

network.
