interface management

Configures the out-of-band BMC Management Interfaces. Each out-of-band BMC interface has its own configuration mode and must be individually configured.

Syntax

interface management interface-number
no interface management interface-number

Parameters

interface-number

The unique interface ID for the out-of-band BMC management interfaces. Only interface with ID 0 (zero) can be configured. Using other values will throw an error.

Modes

Enters into the BMC Management Interface Configuration mode.

Usage Guidelines

Only interface 0 (zero) is configurable. Other interfaces are not supported yet.

The out-of-band BMC Management Interface's IP can be configured from this mode.

The out-of-band BMC Management Interface can be shutdown from this mode.

Use the no format of this command to make this interface inaccessible from outside of the device physical ports.

Examples

This example shows how to enter into the BMC Management Interface Configuration mode.

SLX # configure terminal
SLX (config)# bmc
SLX (config-bmc)# interface management 0
SLX (config-bmc-mgmt-0)# ?
