Using the management port
1
In addition, the management port should not be connected to the same vlan that has the data
ports connecting from the ADX.
Configuring an IP route over the management port
You can configure up to 32 static routes over the management port. On switch code, in order to
configure an IP static route on the management port with a destination address of 192.0.0.0
255.0.0.0 and a next-hop router IP address of 195.1.1.1 , enter the following commands.
ServerIronADX# configure terminal
ServerIronADX(config)# interface management 1
ServerIronADX(config-if-mgmt-1)# ip route 192.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 195.1.1.1
Syntax: ip route <dest-ip-addr> <dest-mask>
<next-hop-ip-addr>
The <dest-ip-addr> is the route’s destination. The <dest-mask> is the network mask for the route’s
destination IP address. Alternatively, you can specify the network mask information by entering a
forward slash followed by the number of bits in the network mask. For example, you can enter
192.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 as 192.0.0.0/.24.
The <next-hop-ip-addr> is the IP address of the next-hop router (gateway) for the route.
On router code, in order to configure an IP static route on the management port with a destination
address of 192.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 and a next-hop router IP address of 195.1.1.1 , enter the following
commands.
ServerIronADX# configure terminal
ServerIronADX(config)# ip route 192.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 195.1.1.1
Syntax: ip route <dest-ip-addr> <dest-mask>
<next-hop-ip-addr> [distance <num> ]
The <dest-ip-addr> is the route’s destination. The <dest-mask> is the network mask for the route’s
destination IP address. Alternatively, you can specify the network mask information by entering a
forward slash followed by the number of bits in the network mask. For example, you can enter
192.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 as 192.0.0.0/.24.
The <next-hop-ip-addr> is the IP address of the next-hop router (gateway) for the route.
The distance <num> parameter specifies the administrative distance of the route. When
comparing otherwise equal routes to a destination, the ServerIron ADX prefers lower administrative
distances over higher ones, so make sure you use a low value for your default route. The default is
1.
Displaying management port information
You can obtain information about the management port using the following commands:
• show ip mgmt-route
• show ip route
• show interfaces brief
• show interfaces management 1
• show statistics management 1
