Setting the Management IP Address

On first startup, you have management access only through the console port. If you want to manage the
switch through an IP-based access method (Telnet, SSH, SNMP, TFTP, etc.), you must configure a
management IP interface, using the following the procedure.
Step Command Syntax
1 show interface managementethernet
2 management route default
interface managementethernet
3
4 ip address
ipaddr subnetmask
Note: Creating a management IP address is supported by both the Layer 2 (Switching) and
Layer 3 (Routing) licenses of SFTOS.
By default, the management address is reachable from all ports on the default VLAN, VLAN 1. One or
more ports in that VLAN must be enabled, as described in
VLAN, see Setting Up the Management VLAN on page
After you enable and connect ports in the management VLAN and configure the management IP address,
as described above, you can manage the switch through a variety of means. The following procedures
describe enabling Telnet and SNMP, respectively.

Enabling Telnet to the Switch

Access to the switch through Telnet is disabled by default. If you want to access the switch through an SSH
client, you would leave Telnet disabled and set up the SSH connection, as described in
