Concept Guide

To congure an IP address on a management interface, use either of the following commands in MANAGEMENT INTERFACE mode:
1 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)
INTERFACE mode
ip address ip-address mask
2 Acquire an IP address from the DHCP server.
INTERFACE mode
ip address dhcp
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:
1 Assign a static route to point to the management interface or forwarding router.
CONFIGURATION mode
management route ip-address mask {forwarding-router-address | ManagementEthernet slot/port}
To view the congured static routes for the management port, use the show ip management-route command in EXEC privilege
mode.

VLAN Membership
A virtual LAN (VLANs) is a logical broadcast domain or logical grouping of interfaces in a LAN in which all data received is kept locally and
broadcast to all members of the group. In Layer 2 mode, VLANs move trac at wire speed and can span multiple devices. Dell Networking
OS supports up to 4093 port-based VLANs and one default VLAN, as specied in IEEE 802.1Q.
VLAN provide the following benets:
• Improved security because you can isolate groups of users into dierent VLANs.
• Ability to create one VLAN across multiple devices.
On an Aggregator in standalone mode, all ports are congured by default as members of all (4094) VLANs, including the default VLAN. All
VLANs operate in Layer 2 mode. You can recongure the VLAN membership for individual ports by using the vlan tagged or vlan
