Before you begin to configure the management interface manually, obtain the switch's IP address and
Note
subnet mask. Also make sure that the console cable is connected to the console port.

Configuring the Management Interface

To configure the management (mgmt0) Ethernet interface to connect over IP, perform this task:
Command
Step 1
switch# configure terminal
Step 2
switch(config)# interface mgmt 0
Step 3
switch(config-if)# ip address
ipv4-address[/length]
switch(config-if)# ip address
ipv4-address [subnet-mask]
switch(config-if)# ipv6 address
ipv6-address[/length]
Step 4
switch(config-if)# no shutdown
Step 5
switch(config-if)# exit
Step 6
switch(config)# vrf context
management
Step 7
switch(config-vrf)# ip route
ipv4-prefix[/length]
ipv4-nexthop-address
switch(config-vrf)# ipv6 route
ipv6-prefix[/length]
ipv6-nexthop-address
Step 8
switch(config-vrf)# exit
Step 9
switch# copy running-config
startup-config
In some cases, a switch interface might be administratively shut down. You can check the status of an
interface at any time by using the show interface mgmt 0 command.
