Management Interfaces

There is no longer a preconfigured management VLAN on the switch. Effective with the 4.x software, the administrator can configure a management VLAN on the in-band interfaces, but the VLAN should not be enabled for routing. The ip address command in Global Config mode no longer exists.

The ability of the switch to obtain an address via DHCP is no longer restricted to a single interface. Effective with the 4.x software, the embedded DHCP client can be enabled on more than one interface at a time. DHCP now works on any routing interface. For example, DHCP can operate on a routing interface and out-of-band (OOB) at the same time. Therefore, DHCP can obtain a switch address over more interfaces than before.
