Note:
· The default width for terminal sessions through the console port is 80 characters. This means that the terminal client’s width should be at least 80 characters for proper use of the console port. Most terminal clients have a default width of 80 characters.
3.6.1.2 Assign an IP Address to the Management Interface
Once initial access to the switch is obtained, the user needs to configure the management IP address and default gateway in either L2/L3 mode or OVS mode. This section explains the configuration in L2/L3 mode.
The management IP address is used for maintaining and managing the device. You can configure a static IP address for the management interface eth0, or you can dynamically assign the address via DHCP. If a static IP address is not assigned, the system will default to attempting to obtain the management port IP address dynamically from the DHCP server.
Note: · When switching from OVS mode to L2/L3 mode, the static IP address of the management port configured before will still be used if there is no user configuration for it in the new mode.
Step 1: Set static IP addresses for the management interface eth0.
set system management-ethernet eth0 ip-address {IPv4 | IPv6} <ip_address>
Note: · If the static IP address is not assigned, the system will try to dynamically obtain the management port IP address from the DHCP server, which is also the factory setting.
Step 2: Set the gateway address for the management interface eth0.
set system management-ethernet eth0 ip-gateway {IPv4 | IPv6} <ip_address>
Step 1: Set static IP addresses for the management interface eth0.
admin@Xorplus# set system management-ethernet eth0 ip-address IPv4 192.168.10.5/24
Step 2: Set the gateway address for the management interface eth0.
admin@Xorplus# set system management-ethernet eth0 ip-gateway IPv4 192.168.10.1
Step 3: Commit the configuration.
admin@XorPlus# commit
Step 4: Verify the configuration. · Run run show system management-ethernet command to view the configuration information, status, and traffic statistics information of the management interface. admin@XorPlus# run show system management-ethernet eth0 Hwaddr: 00:18:23:30:e5:72 State: UP
