Example:

In-band port-based interface

Select menu option: ip interface define

Enter IP address: 158.101.134.62

Enter subnet mask [255.255.255.0]:

Enter interface type (vlan,port) [vlan]: vlan

Enter VLAN interface index {1-12,15?}: 1

As an alternative to a VLAN-based management interface, you can define a port-based router management interface for in-band management:

If you use this type of management interface, all VLANs are removed, a default VLAN is created, and the VLAN mode changes to allClosed.

To define a port-based interface:

1Define an IP interface. From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:

ip interface define

The system prompts you for the interface parameters. To accept the current value shown in brackets at any prompt, press Return.

2Enter the IP address of the management interface.

3Enter the subnet mask of the management interface.

4Enter port

5The system informs you what will happen to the current VLAN configuration if you choose to continue with yes

6Enter the bridge port number.

Example:

Select menu option: ip interface define

Enter IP address: 158.101.134.62 Enter subnet mask [255.255.255.0]:

Enter interface type (vlan,port) [vlan]: port

VLAN mode must be changed to allClosed to support this interface. This will remove all VLANs, then re-create the

Default VLAN - continue? (n,y) [y]: y Select bridge port {1-12,15?}: 1

These management access mechanisms are described more completely in the “Quick Setup for Management Access” chapter in the Getting Starting Guide and the “Management Access” chapter in the Implementation Guide.
