Service Manual

NOTE: If you congure 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.
Conguring Management Interfaces
The dedicated Management interface provides management access to the system.
You can congure this interface with 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 Dell Networking OS. In addition, proxy ARP is
not supported on this interface.
To congure a management interface, use the following commands.
• Enter the slot and the port (1) to congure a Management interface.
CONFIGURATION mode
interface managementethernet interface
The slot range is 1.
The port range is from 1 to 6.
• 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).
Conguring Management Interfaces on the S-Series
You can manage the S-Series from any port.
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
• 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.
Dell#show int TenGigabitEthernet 1/1/1
TenGigabitEthernet 1/1/1 is up, line protocol is up
