IP Address Management
Note If the Cisco 6400 is configured for NME consolidation, do not use the Web Console to configure
management information. See the “Network Management Ethernet Interface” section on page2-6 for
more information.
Follow these steps to enter the IP parameters for the management Ethernet:
Step 1 Enter the subnet mask (Mgmt Ethernet Mask) for the switch.
Step 2 Enter the broadcast address for the switch.
Step 3 Enter the domain name of the NME.
Step 4 Enter the IP address of the default gateway, or router. This field is filled automatically if a discovery
protocol finds a router connected to a switch port.
Step 5 Click Apply to save the current information to your running configuration.
Step 6 Click Save As to save the current information to your configuration file, Flash memory, disk, or TFTP
server.
Setting Static Routes
Static routes for the NME are manually entered into the Static Address table. They are not aged
(dropped) from the table when not in use, and they are not lost when the system resets. To set IP static
routes used on the Ethernet management network, follow these steps:
Step 1 Enter the destination network Ethernet address for the new static route in the Network Address field.
Step 2 Enter the subnet mask for the static route in the Prefix Mask field.
Step 3 Enter the IP address for the next hop router in the Gateway (Next Hop) field.
Step 4 Click Add.
To remove static routes, follow these steps:
Step 1 Select the static route you want to remove from the list of current IP routes.
You must remove the last static route entry unless you have a default gateway specified. Otherwise, you
will no longer be able to access the Web Console on this system.
Step 2 Click Remove.
