Figure 5-3 Enabling management over all ports using the Management Module Web interface
Internal Ethernet ports (Path 3B)
The internal ports can be used to provide management access to the switch from the server
blades in the same chassis.
In-band management considerations
In order to use in-band management paths, you must configure at least one additional IP
address on the Nortel Networks L2/3 GbESM beyond the address that is provided through
the Management Module and attached to VLAN 4095. This additional IP address should be
attached to one of the active VLANs configured on the switch and is discussed in detail in
7.5.3, “Base configuration common to all examples” on page 68.
Using the mnet command on the Ethernet switch, it is possible to limit management access to
the switch to management stations within a defined range of IP addresses.
Note: This command limits all IP-based management access regardless of which path is
involved. Thus, you should use it with care. It is possible to lock out access via the
management module (MGT ports) using this command.
