Congure a Management Route

Dene 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 congure a management route, use the following command.

• Congure 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 /prex-length format (/ xx).

• gateway: the next hop for network trac originating from the management port.

Conguring a Username and Password

To access the system remotely, congure a system username and password.

To congure a system username and password, use the following command.

• Congure a username and password to access the system remotely.

CONFIGURATION mode

username username password [encryption-type] password

• encryption-type: species 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

conguration of another S5000 switch.

Creating a Port-based VLAN

The default virtual local area network (VLAN) (VLAN 1) is part of the system startup conguration and does not require conguration.

To congure a port-based VLAN, create the VLAN and then add physical interfaces or port channel (LAG) interfaces to the VLAN.

• Congure a port-based VLAN (if the vlan-id is dierent 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.

To view the congured VLANs, use the show vlan command in EXEC Privilege mode.

Assigning Interfaces to a VLAN

You can only assign interfaces in Layer 2 mode to a VLAN using the tagged and untagged commands. To place an interface in Layer 2

mode, use the switchport command.

You can designate Layer 2 interfaces as tagged or untagged. When you place an interface in Layer 2 mode using the switchport

command, the interface is automatically designated untagged and placed in the default VLAN.

To view which interfaces are tagged or untagged and to view which VLAN the interfaces belong, use the show vlan command. To view

just the interfaces that are in Layer 2 mode, use the show interfaces switchport command in EXEC Privilege mode or EXEC

mode.
