Mellanox configuration wizard
Do you want to use the wizard for initial configura-
tion? yes
You must perform this configuration the first time you
operate the switch or after resetting the switch. Type
‘y’ and then press <Enter>.
Step1: Hostname? [switch-1]
If you wish to accept the default hostname, then press
<Enter>. Otherwise, type a different hostname and
press <Enter>.
Step 2: Use DHCP on mgmt0 interface? [no]
Perform this step to obtain an IP address for the switch.
(eth0 is the management port of the switch.)
If you wish the DHCP server to assign the IP address,
type ‘yes’ and press <Enter>.
If you type ‘no’ (no DHCP), then you will be asked
whether you wish to use the ‘zeroconf’ configuration
or not. If you enter ‘yes’ (yes Zeroconf), the session
will continue as shown in Table 6.
If you enter ‘no’ (no Zeroconf), then you need to enter
a
static
IP, and the session will continue as shown in
Table 7.
Step 3: Enable IPv6? [yes] yes
The management interface will be able to use IPv6
addresses.
Step 4: Enable IPv6 autoconfig (SLAAC) on mgmt0
interface? [no] no
This turns on autoconfiguration of the IPv6 addresses.
This is unsuitable for DHCPv6.
