Administrator Guide

You can manage the MXL Switch from any port. Congure an IP address for the port using the ip address command. Enable the
IP address for the port using the no shutdown command. You can use the description command from INTERFACE mode to
note that the interface is the management interface. There is no separate management routing table, so you must congure all
routes in the IP routing table (use the
ip route command).
• Enter the slot and the port (0) to congure a Management interface.
CONFIGURATION mode
interface managementethernet interface
The slot range is 0–0.
• Congure 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 /prex format (/x).
Example of the show interface Command
To display the conguration for a given port, use the show interface command from EXEC Privilege mode, as shown in the
following example.
To display the routing table for a given port, use the show ip route command from EXEC Privilege mode.
