Accessing the System Remotely

You can congure the system to access it remotely by Telnet or SSH.

• The switch has a dedicated management port and a management routing table that is separate from the IP routing table.

• You can manage all Dell Networking products in-band via the front-end data ports through interfaces assigned an IP address as well.

Accessing the System Remotely

Conguring the system remotely is a three-step process:

1 Congure an IP address for the management port. Congure the Management Port IP Address

2 Congure a management route with a default gateway. Congure a Management Route

3 Congure a username and password. Congure a Username and Password

Congure the Management Port IP Address

To access the system remotely, assign IP addresses to the management ports.

NOTE

: Assign an IP address to the management port.

1 Enter INTERFACE mode for the Management port for RPM 0 (RPM 0 is in slot 10).

CONFIGURATION mode

interface ManagementEthernet 0/0

For RPM 1 (RPM1 in slot 11), congure its Management port:

interface ManagementEthernet 1/0

2 Assign an IP address to the interface.

INTERFACE mode

ip address ip-address/mask

• ip-address: an address in dotted-decimal format (A.B.C.D).

• mask: a subnet mask in /prex-length format (/ xx).

3 Enable the interface.

INTERFACE mode

no shutdown

Congure a Management Route

Dene a path from the switch to the network from which you are accessing the system remotely. Management routes are separate from IP

routes and are only used to manage the switch through the management port.

• Congure a management route to the network from which you are accessing the system.
