Configuring an IP address on a management port
The managment port can be configured with a distinct IP address that is different than an other IP
address configured on the ServerIron ADX. This is true whether you are running switch or router
code.
You can configure an IP address for the management port as shown in the following.
ServerIronADX# configure terminal
ServerIronADX(config)# interface management 1
ServerIronADX(config-if-mgmt-1)# ip address 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.0
Syntax: [no] ip address <IPaddress> <IPmask>
The <IPaddress> and <IPmask> variables specify the IP address that you want to assign to the
managment port.
NOTE
The IP subnet configured on the management port must be a distinct IP subnet and it should not
overlap with the IP subnet configured on the global management IP on switch code or the IP subnet
configured on the physical or virtual interfaces on router code. In addition, there should not be an
IP subnet overlap between the management port and the IPs configured for any of the following:
• SLB/IP NAT/FWLB related features: source-ip, source-standby-ip, source-nat-ip, static NAT IP,
dynamic NAT IP, virtual server ip, real server ip and virtual-ip (configured under server fw-group
for FWLB).
The management port's IP address cannot be the same as the OS mode IP address that is
configured in monitor mode using the ip address addr command and the subnet overlap is allowed
in this situation.
The following example explains how to access monitor mode and OS mode.
To access the monitor mode, enter the following command.
ServerIronADX# reload
Are you sure? (enter 'y' or 'n'): y
Running Config data has been changed.
Do you want to continue the reload without saving the running config? (enter 'y'
or 'n'): y
Halt and reboot ServerIron Boot Code Version 12.0.0
Enter 'a' to stop at memory test
Enter 'b' to stop at boot monitor
***** Interrupted by entering 'b' *****
To access the OS mode, enter the following command.
ServerIronADX4000-vbp# -(Entering control Key plus Key ’Y’ and the key ’M’ on
the console will direct you to OS mode)
OS>
OS> sh remote
IP address : 10.18.26.10
subnet mask : 255.255.255.0
default gateway : 10.18.26.1
OS> exit -(This command will redirect you back to the Application
console)
