Users Guide

To configure an IP address on a management interface, use either of the following commands in MANAGEMENT INTERFACE mode:
1 Configure 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 /prefix 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 configure 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.
Configuring a Static Route for a Management Interface
When an IP address used by a protocol and a static management route exists for the sample prefix, the protocol route takes precedence
over the static management route.
To configure 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 configured 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 traffic at wire speed and can span multiple devices. Dell Networking
OS supports up to 4093 port-based VLANs and one default VLAN, as specified in IEEE 802.1Q.
VLAN provide the following benefits:
• Improved security because you can isolate groups of users into different VLANs.
• Ability to create one VLAN across multiple devices.
On an Aggregator in standalone mode, all ports are configured by default as members of all (4094) VLANs, including the default VLAN. All
VLANs operate in Layer 2 mode. You can reconfigure the VLAN membership for individual ports by using the vlan tagged or vlan
