Most of the 5320 Series models do not have a dedicated Ethernet port for out-of-band (OOB) management. Instead, you can create and configure a VLAN and a virtual router in order to use a front panel port for local switch management.
Note
Models
5320-24T-4X-XT and
5320-24T-24S-4XE-XT have a dedicated Ethernet port for out-of-band (OOB) management.
Log in to the management console, connect to the device, and follow these steps.
- Create a user virtual router (VR) using the following command:
For models
5320-48T-8XE and
5320-48P-8XE, use the following command:
create vr vr-name
For all other models, use the following command:
create vr vr-name local-only
create vr VR-mymgmt
- Create a VLAN and connect the virtual router using the following command:
create vlan vlan-name vr vr-name
create vlan myvlan vr VR-mymgmt
- Remove the port to use as the management port from the default virtual router (vr-default) using the following command:
configure vr vr-default delete port port-number
configure vr vr-default delete port 12
- Add the port to use as the management port to the virtual router using the following command:
configure vr vr-name add port port-number
configure vr vr-mymgmt add port 12
- Add the port to use as the management port to the VLAN using the following command:
configure vlan-name add port port-number
configure myvlan add port 12
- Configure the IP address and subnet mask length using the following command:
configure vlan-name ipaddress ipaddress/subnet-mask
configure myvlan ipaddress 10.69.8.100/24
- Configure the default gateway (you must specify VR-Mgmt for the management port and VLAN mgmt) using the following command:
configure vlan-name iproute add default ipaddress vr vr-name
configure iproute add default 10.69.8.1 vr vr-mymgmt
- Enter save to save your configuration changes so that they will be in effect after the next system reboot
