Traffic Management Services

Traffic Management Services
In-band options are compliant with and use the RFC 2625 standards. An NMS host running IP protocol
over a FC interface can access the switch using the IPFC functionality. If the NMS does not have a Fibre
Channel HBA, in-band management can still be performed using one of the switches as an access point
to the fabric.

Configuring the Ethernet Management Port

The management port on the switch allows multiple simultaneous Telnet or SNMP network management
sessions. You can also configure the supervisor module Ethernet interface and VSAN interfaces as
management ports. This section focuses on the Ethernet management port (mgmt0). You can remotely
configure the switch through the management port. To configure a connection remotely, you must
configure the IP parameters (IP address and subnet mask) from the CLI so that the switch is reachable.
Before you begin to configure the management interface manually, obtain the switch IP address and IP
subnet mask. Also make sure the console cable is connected to the console port.
