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.

Management Interfaces

The switch supports the Management Ethernet interface as well as the standard interface on any port. You
can use either method to connect to the system.

Configuring a Dedicated Management Interface

The dedicated Management interface provides management access to the system.
You can configure this interface using the CLI, 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.
CONFIGURATION mode
interface managementethernet slot/port
To configure a management port on an RPM, specify the RPM by entering slot 10 or slot 11.
Configure an IP address and mask on a Management interface.
INTERFACE mode
ip address ip-address mask
ip-address mask: enter an address in dotted-decimal format (A.B.C.D). The mask must be in /
prefix format (/x).
Important Points to Remember — virtual-ip
You can configure two global IPv6 addresses on the switch in EXEC Privilege mode. To view the addresses,
use the show interface managementethernet command, as shown in the following example. If you try
to configure a third IPv6 address, an error message displays. If you enable auto-configuration, all IPv6
addresses on that management interface are auto-configured. The first IPv6 address that you configure on
the management interface is the primary address. If deleted, you must re-add it; the secondary address is not
promoted.
The following rules apply to having two IPv6 addresses on a management interface:
IPv6 addresses on a single management interface cannot be in the same subnet.
IPv6 secondary addresses on management interfaces:
