Concept Guide

To enable and configure EIS, use the following commands:
1. Enter EIS mode.
CONFIGURATION mode
management egress-interface-selection
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 system 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 Management Interfaces
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 EMC 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 (1) to configure a Management interface.
CONFIGURATION mode
interface managementethernet interface
The slot range is 1.
The port range is 1.
● 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 system 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.
