Configuring the management interface

Prerequisites
  • A connection to the console port.
Procedure
  1. Switch to the management interface context with the commandinterface mgmt.
  2. By default, the management interface on the management port is enabled. If it was disabled, reenable it with the commandno shutdown.
  3. Use the commandip dhcp配置米anagement interface to automatically obtain an address from a DHCP server on the network (factory default setting). Or, assign a static IPv4 or IPv6 address, default gateway, and DNS server with the commandsip static,default-gateway, andnameserver.
  4. SSH is enabled by default on the management VRF. If disabled, enable SSH with the commandssh server vrf mgmt.

Examples

This example enables the management interface with dynamic addressing using DHCP:

switch(config)#interface mgmtswitch(config-if-mgmt)#no shutdownswitch(config-if-mgmt)#ip dhcp

This example enables the management interface with static addressing creating the following configuration:

  • Sets a static IPv4 address of198.168.100.10with a mask of24bits.
  • Sets the default gateway to198.168.100.200.
  • Sets the DNS server to198.168.100.201.
switch(config)#interface mgmtswitch(config-if-mgmt)#no shutdownswitch(config-if-mgmt)#ip static 198.168.100.10/24switch(config-if-mgmt)#default-gateway 198.168.100.200switch(config-if-mgmt)#nameserver 198.168.100.201
