2. Configure which applications uses EIS.
EIS mode
application {all | application-type}
NOTE: If you configure SNMP as the management application for EIS and you add a default management route,
when you perform an SNMP walk and check the debugging logs for the source and destination IPs, the SNMP agent
uses the destination address of incoming SNMP packets as the source address for outgoing SNMP responses for
security.
Management Interfaces
The switch supports the Management Ethernet interface as well as the standard interface on any port. You can use either method to
connect to the system.
Configuring a Dedicated Management Interface
The dedicated Management interface provides management access to the system.
You can configure this interface using the CLI, 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, proxy ARP is not supported on this
interface.
To configure a management interface, use the following commands.
• Enter the slot and the port (0) to configure a Management interface.
CONFIGURATION mode
interface managementethernet slot/port
To configure a management port on an RPM, specify the RPM by entering slot 10 or slot 11.
• Configure an IP address and mask on a Management interface.
INTERFACE mode
ip address ip-address mask
• ip-address mask: enter an address in dotted-decimal format (A.B.C.D). The mask must be in /prefix format (/x).
You can configure two global IPv6 addresses on the switch in EXEC Privilege mode. To view the addresses, use the show interface
managementethernet command, as shown in the following example. If you try to configure a third IPv6 address, an error message
displays. If you enable auto-configuration, all IPv6 addresses on that management interface are auto-configured. The first IPv6 address
that you configure on the management interface is the primary address. If deleted, you must re-add it; the secondary address is not
promoted.
The following rules apply to having two IPv6 addresses on a management interface:
• IPv6 addresses on a single management interface cannot be in the same subnet.
• IPv6 secondary addresses on management interfaces:
• across a platform must be in the same subnet.
• must not match the virtual IP address and must not be in the same subnet as the virtual IP.
