Users Guide

The Aggregator supports the management ethernet interface as well as the standard interface on any front-end port. You can use

either method to connect to the system.

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:

1. Enter the slot and the port (0). Slot range: 0-0.

CONFIGURATION mode

interface Managementethernet interface

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}
