Setting Basic Network Information 163
Configuring Static Network Information on the OOB Port
NOTE: N2000 switches do not have an out-of-band interface.
Beginning in Privileged EXEC mode, use the following commands to
configure a static IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway on the OOB
port. If no default gateway is configured, then the zero subnet (0.0.0.0) is
used. In this configuration, the OOB port can reach hosts in the local subnet
only, because the OOB port will not be able to issue ARP requests to the
default gateway. Configuring a default gateway address on the OOB port
allows the OOB port to issue ARPs and address traffic to hosts on other
subnets. The OOB port subnet may not overlap with any in-band VLAN
subnet.
NOTE: The out-of-band port also supports IPv6 address assignment, including IPv6
auto-configuration and an IPv6 DHCP client.
Configuring Static Network Information on the Default VLAN
Beginning in Privileged EXEC mode, use the following commands to
configure a static IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway on the default
VLAN. Alternatively, a DHCP server may be used to obtain a network address.
The switch also supports IPv6 address auto-configuration.
