Configure a Management Route
Define a path from the system to the network from which you are accessing the system remotely.
Management routes are separate from IP routes and are only used to manage the system through the
management port.
To configure a management route, use the following command.
• Configure a management route to the network from which you are accessing the system.
CONFIGURATION mode
management route ip-address/mask gateway
• ip-address: the network address in dotted-decimal format (A.B.C.D).
• mask: a subnet mask in /prefix-length format (/ xx).
• gateway: the next hop for network traffic originating from the management port.
Configuring a Username and Password

To configure a system username and password, use the following command.
• Configure a username and password to access the system remotely.
CONFIGURATION mode
username username password [encryption-type] password
• encryption-type: specifies how you are inputting the password, is 0 by default, and is not
required.
• 0 is for inputting the password in clear text.
• 7 is for inputting a password that is already encrypted using a Type 7 hash. Obtaining the
encrypted password from the configuration of another S5000 switch.
Creating a Port-based VLAN
The default virtual local area network (VLAN) (VLAN 1) is part of the system startup configuration and does
not require configuration.
To configure a port-based VLAN, create the VLAN and then add physical interfaces or port channel (LAG)
interfaces to the VLAN.
• Configure a port-based VLAN (if the vlan-id is different from the default VLAN ID) and enter INTERFACE
VLAN mode.
CONFIGURATION mode
interface vlan vlan-id
After you create a VLAN, to activate the VLAN, assign interfaces in Layer 2 mode to the VLAN.
