Using the Switch Data Ports

You also can configure in-bandmanagement through any of the switch data ports. To allow in-band management, use the following procedure:

1.Log on to the switch.

2.Enter IP interface mode.

RS G8124> enable

RS G8124# configure terminal

RS G8124(config)# interface ip <IP interface number>

Note – Interface 125 through 128 are reserved for out-of-band management interfaces (see “Using the Switch Management Ports” on page 27).

3.Configure the management IP interface/mask. ￿ Using IPv4:

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

￿Using IPv6:

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

4.Configure the VLAN, and enable the interface.

RS G8124(config-ip-if)# vlan 1

RS G8124(config-ip-if)# enable

RS G8124(config-ip-if)# exit

5.Configure the default gateway. ￿ If using IPv4:

RS G8124(config)# ip gateway <gateway number> address <IPv4 address> RS G8124(config)# ip gateway <gateway number> enable

￿If using IPv6:

RS G8124(config)# ip gateway6 <gateway number> address <IPv6 address> RS G8124(config)# ip gateway6 <gateway number> enable
