About Management Interfaces

Before you begin to configure the management interface manually, obtain the switch's IPv4 address and
subnet mask, or the IPv6 address.
The management port (mgmt0) is autosensing and operates in full duplex mode at a speed of
10/100/1000 Mbps. Autosensing supports both the speed and the duplex mode. On a Supervisor-1
module, the default speed is 100 Mbps and the default duplex mode is auto. On a Supervisor-2 module,
the default speed is auto and the default duplex mode is auto.
You need to explicitly configure a default gateway to connect to the switch and send IP packets or add a
Note
route for each subnet.

Configuring Management Interfaces

To configure the mgmt0 Ethernet interface to connect over IPv4, follow these steps:
Command
Step 1
switch# config terminal
switch(config)#
Step 2
switch(config)# interface mgmt0
switch(config-if)#
Step 3
switch(config-if)# ip address 10.16.1.2
255.255.255.0
Step 4
switch(config-if)# no shutdown
Step 5
switch(config-if)# exit
switch(config)#
Step 6
switch(config)# ip default-gateway 1.1.1.4
Step 7
switch(config)# exit
switch#
Step 8
switch# copy running-config startup-config
To configure the mgmt0 Ethernet interface to connect over IPv6, follow these steps:
Command
Step 1
switch# config terminal
switch(config)#
Step 2
switch(config)# interface mgmt0
switch(config-if)#
Step 3
switch(config-if)# ipv6 enable
Step 4
switch(config-if)# ipv6 address ipv6
address 2001:0db8:800:200c::417a/64
Step 5
switch(config-if)# no shutdown

Enables the interface.
Returns to configuration mode.
Configures the default gateway IPv4 address.
Returns to EXEC mode.
(Optional) Saves your configuration changes to the
file system.
If you wish to save your configuration, you
Note
can issue this command at any time.
Purpose
Enters configuration mode.
Selects the management Ethernet interface on the
switch and enters interface configuration submode.
Enables IPv6 and assigns a link-local address on
the interface.
Specifies an IPv6 unicast address and prefix length
on the interface.
