Conguring Management Interfaces on the Switch
On the Switch IO Module, the dedicated management interface provides management access to the system.
You can congure this interface with the Dell Networking OS, but the conguration options on this interface are limited. You cannot
congure Gateway addresses and IP addresses if it appears in the main routing table of the Dell Networking OS. In addition, proxy ARP is
not supported on this interface.
To congure a management interface, use the following commands.
For additional management access, IOM supports the default VLAN (VLAN 1) L3 interface in addition to the public fabric D management
interface. You can assign the IP address for the VLAN 1 default management interface using the setup wizard (or) through the CLI.
If you do not congure the VLAN 1 default using the wizard or CLI presented in startup-cong, by default, the VLAN 1 management
interface gets its IP address using DHCP.
There is only one management interface for the whole stack.
You can manage the switch from any port. Congure an IP address for the port using the ip address command. Enable the IP address
for the port using the no shutdown command. You can use the description command from INTERFACE mode to note that the
interface is the management interface. There is no separate management routing table, so you must congure all routes in the IP routing
table (use the ip route command).
• Enter the slot and the port (0) to congure a Management interface.
CONFIGURATION mode
interface managementethernet interface
The slot range is 0–0.
• Congure an IP address and mask on a Management interface.
INTERFACE mode
ip address ip-address mask
• ip-address mask: enter an address in dotted-decimal format (A.B.C.D). The mask must be in /prex format (/x).
Example of the show interface Command
To display the conguration for a given port, use the show interface command from EXEC Privilege mode, as shown in the following
example.
To display the routing table for a given port, use the show ip route command from EXEC Privilege mode.
