Chapter 3 Configuring Ports and Interfaces

Configuring Dynamic Interfaces

Using the CLI to Configure the Service-Port Interface

Follow these steps to display and configure the service-port interface parameters using the CLI.

Step 1 Enter show interface detailed service-portto view the current service-port interface settings.

Note The service-port interface uses the controller’s factory-set service-port MAC address.

Step 2 Enter these commands to define the service-port interface:

To configure the DHCP server: config interface dhcp service-port ip-address-of-primary-dhcp- server [ip-address-of-secondary-dhcp-server]

To disable the DHCP server: config interface dhcp service-port none

To configure the IP address: config interface address service-port ip-addrip-netmask gateway

Step 3 The service port is used for out-of-band management of the controller. If the management workstation is in a remote subnet, you may need to add a route on the controller in order to manage the controller from that remote workstation. To do so, enter this command:

config route network-ip-addr ip-netmask gateway

Step 4 Enter show interface detailed service-portto verify that your changes have been saved.

Configuring Dynamic Interfaces

This section provides instructions for configuring dynamic interfaces using either the GUI or CLI.

Using the GUI to Configure Dynamic Interfaces

Follow these steps to create new or edit existing dynamic interfaces using the GUI.

Step 1 Click Controller > Interfaces to access the Interfaces page (see Figure 3-5).

Step 2 Perform one of the following:

To create a new dynamic interface, click New. The Interfaces > New page appears (see Figure 3-6). Go to Step 3.

To modify the settings of an existing dynamic interface, click the interface’s Edit link. The Interfaces > Edit page for that interface appears (see Figure 3-7). Go to Step 5.

To delete an existing dynamic interface, click the interface’s Remove link.
