Management Interfaces

An Aggregator auto-configures with a DHCP-based IP address for in-band management on VLAN 1 and

remote out-of-band (OOB) management.

The IOM management interface has both a public IP and private IP address on the internal Fabric D

interface. The public IP address is exposed to the outside world for WebGUI configurations/WSMAN and

other proprietary traffic. You can statically configure the public IP address or obtain the IP address

dynamically using the dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP).

Accessing an Aggregator

You can access the Aggregator using:

• Internal RS-232 using the chassis management controller (CMC). Telnet into CMC and do a connect

—b switch-id to get console access to corresponding IOM.

• External serial port with a universal serial bus (USB) connector (front panel): connect using the IOM

front panel USB serial line to get console access (Labeled as USB B).

• Telnet/ssh using the public IP interface on the fabric D interface.

• CMC through the private IP interface on the fabric D interface.

The Aggregator supports the management ethernet interface as well as the standard interface on any

front-end port. You can use either method to connect to the system.

Configuring a Management Interface

On the Aggregator, the dedicated management interface provides management access to the

system.You can configure this interface with Dell Networking OS, 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, the proxy address resolution protocol (ARP) is not

supported on this interface.

For additional management access, IOM supports the default VLAN (VLAN 1) L3 interface in addition to

the public fabric D management interface. You can assign the IP address for the VLAN 1 default

management interface using the setup wizard or through the CLI.

If you do not configure the default VLAN 1 in the startup configuration using the wizard or CLI, by default,

the VLAN 1 management interface gets its IP address using DHCP.

To configure a management interface, use the following command in CONFIGURATION mode:
