IP Addressing Commands
Interfaces on the PowerConnect switches support a variety of capabilities to
support management of the switch. In addition to performing switching and
routing of network traffic, PowerConnect switches act as a host for
management of the switch. Commands in this category allow the network
operator to configure the local host address, utilize the embedded DHCP
client to obtain an address, resolve names to addresses using DNS servers, and
detect address conflicts on the local subnet.
There are two management interface types on PowerConnect switches. In-
band interfaces allow management of the switch through the network
switching/routing interfaces. Out-of-band management is always through the
dedicated out-of-band interface. The serial port on the stack master provides
a direct console interface supporting a CLI. In-band management interfaces
can employ a variety of protection mechanisms including VLAN assignment
and Management ACLs. The out-of-band port does not support such
protection mechanisms and, therefore, it is recommended that the out-of-
band interface only be connected to a physically segregated management
network.
