Administrator Guide

• A duplicate IP address message is printed for the management port’s virtual IP address on an RPM failover. This behavior is a harmless
error that is generated due to a brief transitory moment during failover when both RPMs’ management ports own the virtual IP
address, but have dierent MAC addresses.
• The primary management interface uses only the virtual IP address if it is congured. The system cannot be accessed through the
native IP address of the primary RPM’s management interface.
• After the virtual IP address is removed, the system is accessible through the native IP address of the primary RPM’s management
interface.
• Primary and secondary management interface IP and virtual IP must be in the same subnet.
To view the Primary RPM Management port, use the show interface Managementethernet command in EXEC Privilege mode. If
there are two RPMs, you cannot view information on that interface.
Conguring a Management Interface on an Ethernet Port
You can manage the system through any port using remote access such as Telnet.
To congure an IP address for the port, use the following commands. There is no separate management routing table, so congure all
routes in the IP routing table (the ip route command).
• Congure an IP address.
INTERFACE mode
ip address ip-address mask
• Enable the interface.
INTERFACE mode
no shutdown
• The interface is the management interface.

Example of the show interface and show ip route Commands
To display the conguration for a given port, use the show interface command in EXEC Privilege mode, as shown in the following
example. To display the routing table, use the
show ip route command in EXEC Privilege mode.
VLAN Interfaces
VLANs are logical interfaces and are, by default, in Layer 2 mode. Physical interfaces and port channels can be members of VLANs.
For more information about VLANs and Layer 2, see Layer 2 and Virtual LANs (VLANs).
NOTE
: To monitor VLAN interfaces, use Management Information Base for Network Management of TCP/IP-based internets:
MIB-II (RFC 1213).
NOTE: You cannot simultaneously use egress rate shaping and ingress rate policing on the same VLAN.
Dell EMC Networking OS supports Inter-VLAN routing (Layer 3 routing in VLANs). You can add IP addresses to VLANs and use them in
routing protocols in the same manner that physical interfaces are used. For more information about conguring dierent routing protocols,
refer to the chapters on the specic protocol.
A consideration for including VLANs in routing protocols is that you must congure the no shutdown command. (For routing trac to
ow, you must enable the VLAN.)
NOTE
: You cannot assign an IP address to the default VLAN, which is VLAN 1 (by default). To assign another VLAN ID to the
default VLAN, use the default vlan-id vlan-id command.
To assign an IP address to an interface, use the following command.
