Enabling Management Through External Ports - IBM CN4093 User Manual

3. Execute the ifconfig command to configure the IP parameters you want to use
4. You should now be able to ping the switch from the CMM using this address:
5. Using either the management module or a management station connected to
The Web interface application and the SSHv2/Telnet client software provide different
ways to access and configure the same internal-switching firmware.
v If your system application requires that you use the Web interface application,
v If your system application requires that you use the SSHv2/Telnet client software,

Enabling management through external ports

To access and manage the switch through external interfaces, you must enable the
external ports and the ability to manage the switch through them. Use the
information in the following table to configure your ports.
to manage the switch through CMM. For example,
ifconfig -i 192.168.70.1 -s 255.255.255.0 -g 192.168.70.100
system:switch[1]> ping -i 192.168.70.1

(HTTPs/HTTP) using this address.
Note: SSH and HTTPs are enabled by default. Telnet and HTTP can be
enabled once you have initially logged into the switch.
