Enabling Management Through Data Ports
To access and manage the switch through external interfaces, you must enable the
data (non-management) ports and the ability to manage the switch through them.
Use the information in the following table to configure your ports.
To enable management through data ports, complete the following steps:
1. Log on to the CMM CLI as described in the CMM documentation. If necessary,
obtain the IP address of the CMM from your system administrator.
2. Set the environment to the bay where you installed the switch:
3. Execute the
ifconfig
command to enable data ports and external
management:
4. You should now be able to manage the switch using its data ports or external
management port.
Note:
“External management” refers to means other than by the CMM. To
externally manage the switch, additional IP interfaces must be configured.
For more information see the
Application Guide
for your specific switch
and its installed firmware.
