Configuring A Management Interface - Dell PowerEdge M IO Aggregator Command Reference Manual

The Aggregator supports the management ethernet interface as well as the standard interface on any
front-end port. You can use either method to connect to the system.

Configuring a Management Interface

On the Aggregator, the dedicated management interface provides management access to the system.You
can configure this interface with FTOS, but the configuration options on this interface are limited. You
cannot configure gateway addresses and IP addresses if it appears in the main routing table of FTOS. In
addition, the proxy address resolution protocol (ARP) is not supported on this interface.
For additional management access, IOM supports the default VLAN (VLAN 1) L3 interface in addition to
the public fabric D management interface. You can assign the IP address for the VLAN 1 default
management interface using the setup wizard or through the CLI.
If you do not configure the default VLAN 1 in the startup configuration using the wizard or CLI, by
default, the VLAN 1 management interface gets its IP address using DHCP.
To configure a management interface, use the following command in CONFIGURATION mode:
Command Syntax
interface Managementethernet interface
To configure an IP address on a management interface, use either of the following commands in
MANAGEMENT INTERFACE mode:
Command Syntax
ip address ip-address mask
ip address dhcp
To access the management interface from another LAN, you must configure the
command to point to the management interface.
There is only one management interface for the whole stack.
You can manage the Aggregator from any port. Configure an IP address for the port using the
command. Enable the IP address for the port using the
command from INTERFACE mode to note that the interface is the management interface. There is no
separate management routing table, so you must configure all routes in the IP routing table (use the
command).
