Configure 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. Configure 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. Configure 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
Configure 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
Configure Management route
To set up remote access to OS10, configure 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 different network. The management
route allows you to separate Management traffic from data traffic.
1. (Optional) Ensure that the DHCP client is disabled on the Management interface in INTERFACE mode.
no ip address dhcp
2. Configure a management route for the Management port in CONFIGURATION mode. Repeat the command to configure
multiple routes.
management route {ipv4-address/mask | ipv6-address/prefix-length}
{forwarding-router-address | managementethernet}
● ipv4-address/mask — Enter an IPv4 network address in dotted-decimal format (A.B.C.D), then a subnet mask in /
prefix-length format (/x).
● ipv6-address/prefix-length — Enter an IPv6 address in x:x:x:x::x format with the prefix length in /x format. The
prefix range is /0 to /128.
● forwarding-router-address — Enter the next-hop IPv4/IPv6 address of a forwarding router that serves as a
management gateway to connect to a different subnet.
● managementethernet — Send traffic on the Management port for the configured IPv4/IPv6 subnet.
NOTE:
Management routes are separate from IPv4 and IPv6 routes and are only used to manage the switch through the
Management port.
NOTE: Do not configure the same prefix in both the static route and management route. If the same prefix has to be used,
use management VRF.
