Edit the Management Port Parameters
Configure Layer 1 and Layer 2 networking parameters for the management port.
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.
About this task
Static routes for the management OOB must use the Segmented Management Instance. For more information, see Segmented Management Instance Configuration using EDM.
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.
