Connection via Network
To connect to this Switch Module via a network, you need to assign an IP address to it. You can access the
browser-based interface or the command line interface in the switch through a telnet application or Web browser
by using the assigned IP address.
IP address is configured by the following:
- Assignment by DHCP (default)
- Manual assignment
- Assignment by DHCP
By default, the management network interface on the Switch Module is set up to obtain its IP address from the
DHCP server on the Enclosure Manager Card. You can configure the IP address in the EM Card. For more
information, see the EM Card User’s Guide.
NOTES:
・ If the IP address cannot be obtained from the DHCP server, access
the local console of the Switch Module and assign the IP address
manually. Refer to “Manual assignment” below. After assigning the IP
address, access the Switch Module via the network.
・ Port 19 of the Switch Module is connected with the management
network in the Blade Enclosure.
・ Refer to the Blade Enclosure User’s Guide and the EM Card User’s
Guide to connect or configure the Enclosure Management LAN port.
- Manual assignment
You can assign the IP address by connecting to the Switch Module via the local console. Refer to the following
examples:
AOS CLI
>> # /cfg/sys/dhcp disable
>> # /cfg/l3/if 256
>> IP Interface 256# addr 205.21.17.3
Current IP address: 0.0.0.0
New pending IP address: 205.21.17.3
Pending new subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
. . . . . . . . . . . .
>> IP Interface 256# ena
>> IP Interface 256# ../gw 4
>> Default gateway 4# addr 205.21.17.1
>> Default gateway 4# ena
>> Default gateway 4# apply
>> Default gateway 4# save
(Disable dhcp)
(Select IP interface 256)
(Assign IP address for the Interface)
(Enable IP interface 256)
(Select default gateway 4)
(Assign IP address for a router)
(Enable default gateway 4)
(Apply the configuration)
(Save the configuration)

(Enter Interface IP Configuration mode)
(Assign IP address for the Interface)
(Enable IP interface 256)
(Exit to Global Configuration mode)

(Enable default gateway 4)
(Save the configuration)
IMPORTANT:
・ When assigning an IP address and default gateway for the
management interface manually, assign them to interface 256 and
Gateway 4, respectively.
・ When DHCP is enabled, the IP address obtained from the DHCP
server overrides the static IP address. When assigning the IP
address manually, disable DHCP.
