Note
You can configure the second Ethernet port as either a gateway port or as an OOB/Failover port
(but not both). Make sure you did not allocate
Network 2
as the
Failover Interface
when you
configured the principal
Network
connection on the
System: IP
menu.
The management gateway function is now enabled with default firewall and router rules. By default,
these rules are configured so the Management LAN can only be accessible by SSH port forwarding. This
ensures that the remote and local connections to Managed Devices on the Management LAN are secure.
You can also configure the LAN ports in bridged mode (as described later in this chapter) or you can
configure them from the command line.
3.6.2 Configure the DHCP server
The LES1208A, LES1216A, and LES1248A
console server
s also host a DHCP server which by default is
disabled. The DHCP server enables the automatic distribution of IP addresses to hosts on the
Management LAN that are running DHCP clients. To enable the DHCP server:
On the
System: IP
menu select the
Management LAN
page and click the
Disable
label in the
DHCP Server
field (or go to the
System: DHCP Server
menu and check
Enable DHCP Server
).
