Dell S4820T, Configuration Manual

Page: 437 / 1178

NOTE: If you configure SNMP as the management application for EIS and you add a default
management route, when you perform an SNMP walk and check the debugging logs for the
source and destination IPs, the SNMP agent uses the destination address of incoming SNMP
packets as the source address for outgoing SNMP responses for security.
Management Interfaces
The system supports the Management Ethernet interface as well as the standard interface on any port.
You can use either method to connect to the system.
Configuring Management Interfaces
The dedicated Management interface provides management access to the system.
You can configure this interface with Dell Networking OS, but the configuration options on this interface
are limited. You cannot configure Gateway addresses and IP addresses if it appears in the main routing
table of Dell Networking OS. In addition, proxy ARP is not supported on this interface.
To configure a management interface, use the following commands.
• Enter the slot and the port (0) to configure a Management interface.
CONFIGURATION mode
interface managementethernet interface
The slot range is 0.
• Configure an IP address and mask on a Management interface.
INTERFACE mode
ip address ip-address mask
–
ip-address mask
: enter an address in dotted-decimal format (A.B.C.D). The mask must be in /
prefix format (/x).
Viewing Two Global IPv6 Addresses
Important Points to Remember — virtual-ip
You can configure two global IPv6 addresses on the system in EXEC Privilege mode. To view the
addresses, use the
show interface managementethernet
command, as shown in the following
example. If you try to configure a third IPv6 address, an error message displays. If you enable auto-
configuration, all IPv6 addresses on that management interface are auto-configured. The first IPv6
address that you configure on the management interface is the primary address. If deleted, you must re-
add it; the secondary address is not promoted.
The following rules apply to having two IPv6 addresses on a management interface:
• IPv6 addresses on a single management interface cannot be in the same subnet.
• IPv6 secondary addresses on management interfaces:
– across a platform must be in the same subnet.
