Conguring a Management Interface
On the Aggregator, the dedicated management interface provides management access to the system.You can congure this
interface with 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 Dell Networking OS. In addition, the proxy address resolution
protocol (ARP) is not supported on this interface.
For additional management access, the Aggregator 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 default VLAN 1 in the startup conguration using the wizard or CLI, by default, the VLAN 1 management
interface gets its IP address using DHCP.
To congure a management interface, use the following command in CONFIGURATION mode:
Command Syntax Command Mode Purpose
interface Managementethernet interface CONFIGURATION Enter the slot and the port (0).
Slot range: 0-0
To congure an IP address on a management interface, use either of the following commands in MANAGEMENT INTERFACE mode:
Command Syntax Command Mode Purpose
ip address ip-address mask INTERFACE Congure an IP address and mask on the
interface.
• ip-address mask: enter an address in dotted-
decimal format (A.B.C.D), the mask must be
in /prex format (/x)
ip address dhcp INTERFACE Acquire an IP address from the DHCP server.
To access the management interface from another LAN, you must congure the management route command to point to the
management interface.
There is only one management interface for the whole stack.
To display the routing table for a given port, use the show ip route command from EXEC Privilege mode.
Conguring a Static Route for a Management Interface
When an IP address used by a protocol and a static management route exists for the sample prex, the protocol route takes
precedence over the static management route.
To congure a static route for the management port, use the following command in CONFIGURATION mode:
Command Syntax
Command Mode Purpose
management route ip-address mask
{forwarding-router-address |
ManagementEthernet slot/port}
CONFIGURATION Assign a static route to point to the management interface
or forwarding router.
