Edit the Management Port Parameters

About this task

Note

This procedure only applies to hardware with a dedicated physical management interface.

The management port on the switch is a 10/100/1000 Mb/s Ethernet port that you can use for an out-of-band management connection to the switch.

If you use EDM to configure the static routes of the management port, you do not receive a warning if you configure a non-natural mask. After you save the changes, the system deletes those static routes after the next restart, possibly causing the loss of IP connectivity to the management port.

If you are uncertain whether the mask you configure is non-natural, use the CLI to configure static routes.

Procedure

In the Device Physical View tab, select the management port.
In the navigation pane, expand Configuration > Edit.
Select Mgmt Port.
Select the General tab.
Modify the appropriate settings.
Select Apply.
