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 precedence.

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.

CONFIGURATION mode

management egress-interface-selection

Configure which applications uses EIS.

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

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 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 (1) to configure a Management interface.

CONFIGURATION mode

interface managementethernet interface

The slot range is 1.

The port range is from 1 to 6.

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).
