Management Route Conguration

WARNING: Avoid conguring an IPv4 or IPv6 address and a static route for the management interface that conict with an IPv4

or IPv6 address and static route on a front-end port interface.

To set up remote access to OS10, congure a management route after you assign an IPv4 or IPv6 address to the Management port. The

default management route is the path used by a Management port to communicate with a dierent network. Management routes are

separate from IPv4 and IPv6 routes and are only used to manage the system through the Management port.

management route 192.168.100.0/24 1.1.1.1

ip route 192.168.100.0/24 2.2.2.2

management route 192.168.200.0/24 managementethernet

ip route 192.168.200.0/24 interface ethernet 1/1/1

Before conguring the static IPv4 address for management interface port, remove the dynamic DHCP setting using the no ip address

dhcp command.

Congure a management route to the network from which you access the system in CONFIGURATION mode. Repeat the command to

congure multiple routes for the Management interface.

management route {ipv4-address/mask | ipv6-address/prefix-length}

{forwarding-router-address | managementethernet}

• ipv4-address/mask — Enter an IPv4 network address in dotted-decimal format (A.B.C.D), then a subnet mask in /prex-length

format (/

xx).

• ipv6-address/prefix-length — Enter an IPv6 address in x:x:x:x::x format with the prex length in /x format (prex range is /0

to /128).

• forwarding-router-address — Enter the next-hop IPv4/IPv6 address of a forwarding router for network trac from the

Management port.

• managementethernet — Congures the Management port as the interface for the route, and forces the route to be associated

with the Management interface.

Congure management route

OS10(config)# management route 10.10.20.0/24 10.1.1.1

OS10(config)# management route 172.16.0.0/16 managementethernet

Congure user name and password

To set up remote access to OS10, create a new user name and password after you congure the management port and default route. The

user role is a mandatory entry.

Enter the password in clear text. It is converted to SHA-512 format in the running conguration. A password must have at least nine

alphanumeric and special characters, and at least ve dierent characters from the password previously used for the same username.

For backward compatibility with OS10 releases 10.3.1E and earlier, passwords entered in MD-5, SHA-256, and SHA-512 format are

supported.

To increase the required password strength, use the password-attributes command.

• Create a user name and password in CONFIGURATION mode.

username username password password role role

– username username — Enter a text string (up to 32 alphanumeric characters; 1 character minimum).

– password password — Enter a text string (up to 32 alphanumeric characters; 9 characters minimum).

– role role — Enter a user role:
