Management Network Configuration

The B096-048/016 Console Server Management Switches and B094-008-2E-M-F Console Server each have an additional
network port that can be configured as a Management LAN port or as a failover/ OOB access port.
3.6.1

Enable the Management LAN

The B096-048/016 Console Server Management Switches and B094-008-2E-M-F Console Server have dual Ethernet ports
which can be configured to provide a management LAN gateway. With this configuration, the B096-048/016 and B094-008-
2E-M-F provide firewall, router and DHCP server features and you can connect managed hosts to this management LAN.
These features are all disabled by default. To configure the Management LAN gateway:
• Select the Management LAN Interface page on the System: IP menu and uncheck Disable
• Configure the IP Address and Subnet Mask for the Management LAN (but leave the DNS fields blank)
• Click Apply
Note: With the B094-008-2E-M-F, B096-048 and B096-016 the second Ethernet port can be configured as either a
gateway port or it can be configured as an OOB/Failover port - but not both. So ensure you did not allocate the Management
LAN as the Failover Interface when you configured the principal Network connection on the System: IP menu
The management gateway function is now enabled with default firewall and router rules. By default these rules are configured
so the Management LAN can only be accessible by SSH port forwarding. This ensures the remote and local connections to
Managed Devices on the Management LAN are secure.
