548 Inband Management
Figure 91 Inband Management process
The NAT IP table is loaded and automatically configured on bootup.The source address NAT is configured
on the inband management interfaces to use the address of the CP management interface (eth0). The
switch automatically uses the IP address of the CP management interface to source address NAT the new
inband management interfaces, so no additional configuration will be required.
IP address and routing management
The CP and GE port processor Ethernet interfaces must have IP addresses associated with them. By default,
there will be no IP addresses associated with these new Ethernet interfaces. To manage the IP addresses for
the CP and GE port processor Ethernet interfaces, use the
portCfg inbandmgmt
command on the CP.
The command syntax is as follows:
portCfg inbandmgmt ge_port option arguments
where:
ipaddrset cp | ge ip_address
netmask
Configures the IP address and netmask for a CP or a GbE
inband management interface. This command requires
specifying the type of interface (cp or ge) an IPv4
address, and the subnet mask. For each management
interface, configure two IP addresses, one for the CP and
one for the GbE port.
ipaddrdel cp | ge ip_address
Deletes the IP address for a CP or GE inband
management interface. Specify the type of interface (cp
or ge) and the IPv4 address to be deleted.
cp | ge
Specifies the interface type as either CP or GE port
processor. This operand is required when configuring or
deleting an IP address.
ip_address
Specifies the IP Address for the inband management
interface. The IP address must be in IPv4 format, followed
by the subnet mask. IPv6 addresses are not supported.
This operand is required with the ipaddrset and ipaddrdel
options.
netmask
Specifies the subnet mask for the IP address in
dotted-decimal notation.
