Dell EMC Networking N1100-ON/N1500/N2000/N2100-ON/N2200-
ON/N3000-ON/N3100-ON/N3200-ON Series Switches
Interfaces on the Dell EMC Networking switches support a variety of
capabilities to support management of the switch. In addition to performing
switching and routing of network traffic, Dell EMC Networking switches act
as a host for management of the switch. Commands in this category allow the
network operator to configure the local host address, utilize the embedded
DHCP client to obtain an address, resolve names to addresses using DNS
servers, and detect address conflicts on the local subnet.
There are two management interface types on Dell EMC Networking
switches. In-band interfaces allow management of the switch through the
network switching/routing interfaces. Out-of-band management is always
through the dedicated out-of-band interface. The serial port on the
management unit in the stack provides a direct console interface supporting a
CLI. In-band management interfaces can employ a variety of protection
mechanisms including VLAN assignment and Management ACLs. The out-
of-band port does not support such protection mechanisms and, therefore, it
is recommended that the out-of-band interface only be connected to a
physically separated management network.
