Step 26 Enter yes (yes is default) to use and save this configuration.
Use this configuration and save it? (yes/no) [y]: yes
Caution If you do not save the configuration at this point, none of your changes are updated the next time the switch
is rebooted. Type yes to save the new configuration. This ensures that the kickstart and system images are
also automatically configured.

Configuring In-Band Management

The in-band management logical interface is VSAN 1. This management interface uses the Fibre Channel
infrastructure to transport IP traffic. An interface for VSAN 1 is created on every switch in the fabric. Each
switch should have its VSAN 1 interface configured with either an IPv4 address or an IPv6 address in the
same subnetwork. A default route that points to the switch providing access to the IP network should be
configured on every switch in the Fibre Channel fabric.
Note You can configure both in-band and out-of-band configuration together by entering Yes in both Step 10c
and Step 10d in the following procedure.
