IP Addressing Commands
Interfaces on the PowerConnect switches support a variety of capabilities to
support management of the switch. In addition to performing switching and
routing of network traffic, PowerConnect switches act as a host for
management of the switch. Commands in this category allow the network
operator to configure the local host address, utilize the embedded DHCP
client to obtain an address, resolve names t o addresses using DNS servers, and
detect address conflicts on the local subnet.
There are two management interface types on PowerConnect switches. In-
band interfaces allow management of the switch through the network
switching/routing interfaces. Out-of-band management is always through the
dedicated service port. In-band management interfaces can employ a variety
of protection mechanisms including VLAN assignment and Management
ACLs. The out-of-band port does not support such protection mechanisms
and, ther efore, i t is reco mmende d that t he serv ice port only be connec ted to a
physically segregated management network.
