50 ETEP Installation Guide
To configure the management port:
1 At the command prompt, type
configure to enter configuration mode.
2At the
config> prompt, type management-interface.
3 Assigning an IPv4 address to the management port is mandatory. To set the management port IPv4
address, mask, and gateway, type
ip <ip address> <subnet mask> [gateway]
After entering the new IP address, it takes 10-20 seconds for the ETEP to set the address on the
management port. During that time you cannot enter any CLI commands. When the operation is
complete, the
man-if> prompt is displayed.
4 Optional. If the ETEP is operating in an IPv6 network you can also assign an IPv6 address to the
management port. To do so, type
ip6 {<ip address>/<prefix-length>} [gateway]
5 Auto-negotiation is enabled by default. If you want to disable auto-negotiation and manually set the
link speed and flow control, configure the autoneg command. Attributes are described in Table 19.
autoneg {enable} | {disable [<speed>] [<flow-control>]}
6Type exit to return to the config prompt, or type top to return to the command prompt.

ip address Management port IP address, entered in dotted decimal notation.
subnet mask IP subnet mask, entered in dotted decimal notation.
gateway Specifies how to route traffic between the ETEP management port and the
management station. When the management port is on a different subnet than
the management station, specify the IP address of the router’s local port on
the same subnet as the ETEP management port (see Figure 34). If the
devices are on the same subnet, you do not need to enter a default gateway.
ip address IPv6 address of the ETEP management port. This is a 128-bit address
consisting of eight hexadecimal groups that are separated by colons. Each
group is a 4-digit hexadecimal number. The hexadecimal letters in IPv6
addresses are not case sensitive.
prefix-length A decimal value that indicates the number of contiguous, higher-order bits of
the address that make up the network portion of the address. The decimal
value is preceded by a forward slash (/).
gateway IPv6 address of the router port that is on the same local network as the ETEP
management port.
