Configuring EIS
EIS is compatible with the following protocols: DNS, FTP, NTP, RADIUS, sFlow, SNMP, SSH, Syslog, TACACS, Telnet, and
TFTP.
To enable and configure EIS, use the following commands:
1. Enter EIS mode.
CONFIGURATION mode
management egress-interface-selection
2. Configure which applications uses EIS.
EIS mode
application {all | application-type}
NOTE: If you configure SNMP as the management application for EIS and you add a default management route, when
you perform an SNMP walk and check the debugging logs for the source and destination IPs, the SNMP agent uses the
destination address of incoming SNMP packets as the source address for outgoing SNMP responses for security.
Management Interfaces
The system supports the Management Ethernet interface as well as the standard interface on any port. You can use either
method to connect to the system.
Configuring Management Interfaces
The dedicated Management interface provides management access to the system.
You can configure this interface using the CLI, but the configuration options on this interface are limited. You cannot configure
Gateway addresses and IP addresses if it appears in the main routing table of Dell EMC Networking OS. In addition, proxy ARP is
not supported on this interface.
To configure a management interface, use the following commands.
Enter the slot and the port (1) to configure a Management interface.
CONFIGURATION mode
interface managementethernet interface
The slot range is 1.
The port range is 1.
Configure 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 /prefix format (/x).
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
