Configure Basic Connectivity
1. Configure an IP address for the Ethernet Management port.
It is necessary to configure connectivity to the out-of-box Ethernet management port in order to use
Telnet, the Web GUI, or the Java GUI. The system is not pre-configured when it ships from the
factory.
IP addresses can be assigned statically (which is the default), or dynamically assigned using DHCP.

c. Enter the enable command.
d. Enter the configure command.
e. Enter the interface mgmt-ethernet command.
f. Enter the IP address of the management port followed by the netmask.
