Defining a Management Interface
You define a management interface in one of two ways:
■
Out-of-band
—
This method uses a dedicated network for
management data. A management interface must be configured for
the out-of-band Ethernet port on the system processor module.
■
In-band
— This method manages the system and its attached LANs
over the same network that carries your regular data traffic. An IP
address must be configured on a port on an installed media module.
You can use any media type.
For detailed information on defining a management interface, see the
chapter on “Management Access” in the
Implementation Guide
.
Out-of-band
interface
To define a management interface on the system processor for
out-of-band management:
1
From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:
management ip interface define
The system prompts you for the interface parameters. To accept the
current value shown in brackets at any prompt, press Return.
2
Enter the IP address of the management interface.
3
Enter the subnet mask of the management interface.
In-band interface
You can define a VLAN or a port-based router interface for in-band
management.
In-band VLAN-based
interface
To define a VLAN-based management interface on a media module port
for in-band management:
1
Define an IP VLAN as described in the chapter on VLANs in the
Command
Reference Guide
.
2
Define an IP interface. From the top level of the Administration Console,
enter:
ip interface define
The system prompts you for the interface parameters. To accept the
current value shown in brackets at any prompt, press Return.
3
Enter the IP address of the management interface.
4
Enter the subnet mask of the management interface.
5
Enter
vlan
6
Enter the index of the VLAN to associate with the interface.
