Configure Static Routes for the
Management Interface
When an IP address that a protocol uses and a static management route exists for the same prefix, the
protocol route takes precedence over the static management route.
To configure a static route for the management port, use the following command.
Assign a static route to point to the management interface or forwarding router.
CONFIGURATION mode
management route ip-address mask {forwarding-router-address | ManagementEthernet
slot/port}
Example of the show ip management-route Command
To view the configured static routes for the management port, use the show ip management-route
command in EXEC privilege mode.
Dell#show ip management-route
Destination
-----------
10.11.0.0/16
172.16.1.0/24

Enabling Directed Broadcast

By default, the system drops directed broadcast packets destined for an interface. This default setting
provides some protection against denial of service (DoS) attacks.
To enable the switch to receive directed broadcasts, use the following command.
Enable directed broadcast.
INTERFACE mode
ip directed-broadcast
To view the configuration, use the show config command in INTERFACE mode.

Resolution of Host Names

Domain name service (DNS) maps host names to IP addresses. This feature simplifies commands such as
Telnet and FTP by allowing you to enter a name instead of an IP address.
Dynamic resolution of host names is disabled by default. Unless you enable the feature, the system resolves
only host names entered into the host table with the ip host command.
