The Aggregator supports the management ethernet interface as well as the standard interface on any<br />

front-end port. You can use either method to connect to the system.<br />

Configuring a Management Interface<br />

On the Aggregator, the dedicated management interface provides management access to the system.You<br />

can configure this interface with FTOS, but the configuration options on this interface are limited. You<br />

cannot configure gateway addresses and IP addresses if it appears in the main routing table of FTOS. In<br />

addition, the proxy address resolution protocol (ARP) is not supported on this interface.<br />

For additional management access, IOM supports the default VLAN (VLAN 1) L3 interface in addition to<br />

the public fabric D management interface. You can assign the IP address for the VLAN 1 default<br />

management interface using the setup wizard or through the CLI.<br />

If you do not configure the default VLAN 1 in the startup configuration using the wizard or CLI, by<br />

default, the VLAN 1 management interface gets its IP address using DHCP.<br />

To configure a management interface, use the following command in CONFIGURATION mode:<br />

Command Syntax Command Mode Purpose<br />

interface Managementethernet interface CONFIGURATION Enter the slot and the port (0).<br />

Slot range: 0-0<br />

To configure an IP address on a management interface, use either of the following commands in<br />

MANAGEMENT INTERFACE mode:<br />

Command Syntax Command Mode Purpose<br />

ip address ip-address mask INTERFACE Configure an IP address and mask on the<br />

interface.<br />

• ip-address mask: enter an address in<br />

dotted-decimal format (A.B.C.D), the<br />

mask must be in /prefix format (/x)<br />

ip address dhcp INTERFACE Acquire an IP address from the DHCP server.<br />

To access the management interface from another LAN, you must configure the management route<br />

command to point to the management interface.<br />

There is only one management interface for the whole stack.<br />

You can manage the Aggregator from any port. Configure an IP address for the port using the ip address<br />

command. Enable the IP address for the port using the no shutdown command. You can use the description<br />

command from INTERFACE mode to note that the interface is the management interface. There is no<br />

separate management routing table, so you must configure all routes in the IP routing table (use the ip route<br />

command).<br />
