Important Points to Remember

Deleting a management route removes the route from both the EIS routing table and the default

routing table.

If the management port is down or route lookup fails in the management EIS routing table, the

outgoing interface is selected based on route lookup from the default routing table.

If a route in the EIS table conflicts with a front-end port route, the front-end port route has

Due to protocol, ARP packets received through the management port create two ARP entries (one for

the lookup in the EIS table and one for the default routing table).

EIS is compatible with the following protocols: DNS, FTP, NTP, RADIUS, sFlow, SNMP, SSH, Syslog,

TACACS, Telnet, and TFTP.

To enable and configure EIS, use the following commands:

Enter EIS mode.

application {all | application-type}

NOTE: If you configure SNMP as the management application for EIS and you add a default

management route, when you perform an SNMP walk and check the debugging logs for the

source and destination IPs, the SNMP agent uses the destination address of incoming SNMP

packets as the source address for outgoing SNMP responses for security.

The system supports the Management Ethernet interface as well as the standard interface on any port.

You can use either method to connect to the system.

The dedicated Management interface provides management access to the system.

You can configure this interface with Dell Networking OS, 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 Dell Networking OS. In addition, proxy ARP is not supported on this interface.

To configure a management interface, use the following commands.

Enter the slot and the port (0) to configure a Management interface.
