Managing BMC Management Interface

1. Navigate into the BMC Management Interface context.
   

   SLX # configure terminal
   SLX (config)# bmc
   SLX (config-bmc)# 

   Configuration of each BMC Management Interface must be done separately from within its configuration mode.

   

   Note

   Only the BMC Management Interface with interface ID of 0 can be configured.

   You are now within the BMC configuration mode.
2. From within the BMC configuration mode, navigate into the BMC Management Interface configuration mode.
   

   SLX (config-bmc)# interface management 0
   SLX (config-bmc-mgmt-0)# 
   			

   You are now within the BMC Management Interface configuration mode.
3. To set the out-of-band access to the BMC Management Interface:

   • If you need to shutdown the interface to prevent out-of-band access, use the shutdown command.

     

     SLX (config-bmc-mgmt-0)# shutdown
     SLX (config-bmc-mgmt-0)# 

   • If the interface is in the shutdown state, you can enable it by executing the no shutdown command.

     

     SLX (config-bmc-mgmt-0)# no shutdown
     SLX (config-bmc-mgmt-0)# 

   Verify the status of the interface using the do show running-config command.

This example shows how to shutdown the BMC Management Interface to prevent out-of-band access.

 SLX # configure terminal
SLX (config)# bmc
SLX (config-bmc)# interface management 0
SLX (config-bmc-mgmt-0)# shutdown
SLX (config-bmc-mgmt-0)# exit
SLX (config-bmc)# exit
SLX (config)# do show bmc interface management 0 status
Status: Disabled 

This example shows how to enable a shutdown BMC Management Interface to enable access to it from out-of-band ports.

 SLX # configure terminal
SLX (config)# bmc
SLX (config-bmc)# interface management 0
SLX (config-bmc-mgmt-0)# no shutdown
SLX (config-bmc-mgmt-0)# exit
SLX (config-bmc)# exit
SLX (config)# do show bmc interface management 0 status
Status: Enabled
