3.Configure a management IP address.

The switch reserves four management interfaces:

Using IPv4:

RS G8124(config)# interface ip [127128]

RS G8124(config-ip-if)#		ip	address <management interface IPv4 address>
RS G8124(config-ip-if)#		ip	netmask <IPv4 subnet mask>
RS	G8124(config-ip-if)#	enable
RS	G8124(config-ip-if)#	exit

IF 127 supports IPv4 management port A and uses IPv4 default gateway 3.

IF 128 supports IPv4 management port B and uses IPv4 default gateway 4.

Using IPv6:

RS G8124(config)# interface ip [125126]

RS G8124(config-ip-if)#ipv6 address <management interface IPv6 address>

RS G8124(config-ip-if)# ipv6 prefixlen <IPv6 prefix length>

RS G8124(config-ip-if)# enable

RS G8124(config-ip-if)# exit

IF 125 supports IPv6 management port A and uses IPv6 default gateway 3.

IF 126 supports IPv6 management port B and uses IPv6 default gateway 4.

4.Configure the appropriate default gateway.

If using IPv4, IPv4 gateway 3 is required for IF 127, and IPv4 gateway 4 is required for IF 128.

RS G8124(config)# ip gateway [34] address <default gateway IPv4 address>

RS G8124(config)# ip gateway [34] enable

If using IPv6, IPv6 gateway 3 is required for IF 125, and IPv4 gateway 4 is required for IF 126.

RS G8124(config)# ip gateway6 [34] address <default gateway IPv6 address>

RS G8124(config)# ip gateway6 [34] enable

Once you configure a management IP address for your switch, you can connect to a management port and use the Telnet program from an external management station to access and control the switch. The management port provides out-of-bandmanagement.
