Example of the show ip interface Command
You can only congure one primary IP address per interface. You can congure up to 255 secondary IP addresses on a single
interface.
To view all interfaces to see with an IP address assigned, use the show ip interfaces brief command in EXEC mode as
shown in View Basic Interface Information.
To view IP information on an interface in Layer 3 mode, use the show ip interface command in EXEC Privilege mode.

Management Interfaces
The IOM management interface has both a public IP and private IP address on the internal fabric D interface.
The public IP address is exposed to the outside world for Web GUI congurations/WSMAN and other proprietary trac. You can
statically congure the public IP address or obtain the IP address dynamically using the dynamic host conguration protocol (DHCP).
NOTE: When you shut down a management interface, connectivity to the interface’s private IP address is disabled.
You can access the full switch using:
• Internal RS-232 using the chassis management controller (CMC). Telnet into CMC and do a connect -b switch-id to get
console access to corresponding IOM.
• External serial port with a universal serial bus (USB) connector (front panel): connect using the IOM front panel USB serial line to
get console access (Labeled as USB B).
• Telnet/others using the public IP interface on the fabric D interface.
• CMC through the private IP interface on the fabric D interface.
The MXL switch system supports the management Ethernet interface as well as the standard interface on any front-end port. You
can use either method to connect to the system.
Conguring Management Interfaces on the MXL Switch
On the MXL Switch IO Module, the dedicated management interface provides management access to the system.
You can congure this interface with the Dell Networking OS, but the conguration options on this interface are limited. You cannot
congure Gateway addresses and IP addresses if it appears in the main routing table of the Dell Networking OS. In addition, proxy
ARP is not supported on this interface.
To congure a management interface, use the following commands.
For additional management access, IOM supports the default VLAN (VLAN 1) L3 interface in addition to the public fabric D
management interface. You can assign the IP address for the VLAN 1 default management interface using the setup wizard (or)
through the CLI.
If you do not congure the VLAN 1 default using the wizard or CLI presented in startup-cong, by default, the VLAN 1 management
interface gets its IP address using DHCP.
There is only one management interface for the whole stack.
