Usage Guidelines

You must have administrator privileges to issue this command.

The 10/100BT Ethernet management port provides dedicated remote access to the application switch

using TCP/IP. It supports Telnet using the command-line interface. The 10/100BT port is designed to be

used as an out-of-band management port only. It does not function as a load balancing port.

If you want to use the management interface, you must issue this command assign the port an IP

address and subnetwork mask. You can specify the subnetwork mask by giving either the number of

bits set in the mask or the mask itself. For example, the following two commands are identical:

configure mgmt ipaddress 10.1.1.10 / 24

configure

mgmt ipaddress 10.1.1.10 network-mask 255.255.255.0

The conÞguration of management-port information is executed immediately; you do not need to issue

the build command for this command to take effect.

Example

The following command conÞgures the management port.

configure mgmt ipaddress 10.1.1.10 / 24
