Configuring a Management Interface on an Ethernet Port
You can manage the system through any port using remote access such as Telnet.
To configure an IP address for the port, use the following commands. There is no separate management routing table, so
configure all routes in the IP routing table (the ip route command).
● Configure an IP address.
INTERFACE mode
ip address ip-address mask
● Enable the interface.
INTERFACE mode
no shutdown
● The interface is the management interface.
INTEFACE mode
description
To display the configuration for a given port, use the show interface command in EXEC Privilege mode, as shown in the
following example. To display the routing table, use the show ip route command in EXEC Privilege mode.

VLAN Interfaces
VLANs are logical interfaces and are, by default, in Layer 2 mode. Physical interfaces and port channels can be members of
VLANs.
For more information about VLANs and Layer 2, see Layer 2 and Virtual LANs (VLANs).
NOTE:
To monitor VLAN interfaces, use Management Information Base for Network Management of TCP/IP-based
internets: MIB-II (RFC 1213).
NOTE: You cannot simultaneously use egress rate shaping and ingress rate policing on the same VLAN.
Dell EMC Networking OS supports Inter-VLAN routing (Layer 3 routing in VLANs). You can add IP addresses to VLANs and use
them in routing protocols in the same manner that physical interfaces are used. For more information about configuring different
routing protocols, refer to the chapters on the specific protocol.
A consideration for including VLANs in routing protocols is that you must configure the no shutdown command. (For routing
traffic to flow, you must enable the VLAN.)
