SFS-3012R(config-if-mgmt-ethernet)# ip address 10.10.0.22 255.255.255.0
Step6 Set the default gateway of the management port, as shown in this example:
SFS-3012R(config-if-mgmt-ethernet)# gateway 10.10.0.1
Step7 Enable the management port with the no shutdown command.
SFS-3012R(config-if-mgmt-ethernet)# no shutdown
Step8 Save the configuration to preserve it between reboots.
SFS-3012R(config-if-mgmt-ethernet)# exit
SFS-3012R(config)# exit
SFS-3012R# copy running-config startup-config
