3. Configure an IPv4 or IPv6 address on the Management interface in INTERFACE mode.
ip address A.B.C.D/mask
ipv6 address A:B/prefix-length
4. Enable the Management interface in INTERFACE mode.
no shutdown
Configure Management interface
OS10(config)# interface mgmt 1/1/1
OS10(conf-if-ma-1/1/1)# no ip address dhcp
OS10(conf-if-ma-1/1/1)# ip address 10.1.1.10/24
OS10(conf-if-ma-1/1/1)# no shutdown
Configure Management route
To set up remote access to OS10, configure a management route after you assign an IPv4 or IPv6 address to the Management port. The
Management port uses the default management route to communicate with a different network. The management route allows you to
separate Management traffic from data traffic.
1. (Optional) Ensure that the DHCP client is disabled on the Management interface in INTERFACE mode.
no ip address dhcp
2. Configure a management route for the Management port in CONFIGURATION mode. Repeat the command to configure multiple
routes.
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 /prefix-
length format (/
x).
• ipv6-address/prefix-length — Enter an IPv6 address in x:x:x:x::x format with the prefix length in /x format. The prefix
range is /0 to /128.
• forwarding-router-address — Enter the next-hop IPv4/IPv6 address of a forwarding router that serves as a
management gateway to connect to a different subnet.
• managementethernet — Send traffic on the Management port for the configured IPv4/IPv6 subnet.
NOTE:
Management routes are separate from IPv4 and IPv6 routes and are only used to manage the switch through the
Management port.
Configure 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
Configure user name and password
To set up remote access to OS10, create a user name and password after you configure 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 configuration. A password must have at least nine
characters, including alphanumeric and special characters, and at least five different characters from the password previously used for the
same username; for example:
OS10(config)# username admin password alpha404! role sysadmin
For backward compatibility with OS10 release 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.
