Ansible-automated switch provisioning
Automate OS10 switch conguration using Ansible, a third-party DevOps tool. Create and execute Ansible playbooks to congure multiple
devices. For more information, see Using Ansible.
Remote access
After you install or upgrade OS10 and log in, you can set up remote access to the OS10 command-line interface and the Linux shell.
Connect to the switch using the serial port. Serial port settings are 115200 baud, 8 data bits, and no parity.
Congure remote access
1 Congure the Management IP address.
2 Congure Management route.
3 Congure user name and password.
Congure Management IP address
To remotely access OS10, assign an IP address to the management port. Use the management interface for out-of-band (OOB) switch
management.
1 Congure the management interface from CONFIGURATION mode.
interface mgmt 1/1/1
2 By default, DHCP client is enabled on the Management interface. Disable the DHCP client operations in INTERFACE mode.
no ip address dhcp
3 Congure an IPv4 or IPv6 address on the Management interface in INTERFACE mode.
ip address A.B.C.D/mask
ipv6 address A:B/prefix-length
4 Enable the Management interface in INTERFACE mode.
no shutdown
Congure Management interface
OS10(config)# interface mgmt 1/1/1
OS10(conf-if-ma-1/1/1)# no ip address dhcp
OS10(conf-if-ma-1/1/1)# ip address 10.1.1.10/24
OS10(conf-if-ma-1/1/1)# no shutdown
Congure Management route
To set up remote access to OS10, congure a management route after you assign an IPv4 or IPv6 address to the Management port. The
Management port uses the default management route to communicate with a dierent network. The management route allows you to
separate Management trac from data trac.
1 (Optional) Ensure that the DHCP client is disabled on the Management interface in INTERFACE mode.
no ip address dhcp
2 Congure a management route for the Management port in CONFIGURATION mode. Repeat the command to congure multiple
routes.
management route {ipv4-address/mask | ipv6-address/prefix-length}
{forwarding-router-address | managementethernet}
