Command Line Interface Guide

 

 

 

eth ip mgmt

Assigns to an Ethernet interface an IP address which is to be used for management purposes only and not for IP address translation. This management IP address is generally a private network address used solely by the ISP.

The management IP address is separate from the IP address used for IP address translation. The IP address used for address translation is generally a public IP address valid on the Internet. It is set by the eth ip addr command.

NOTE:

The management address is not effective until after the next save and reboot.

NOTE:

To use the management address as the source address for a ping, you must specify it using the -Ioption on the ping command. For example, to use management address 192.168.1.2 when pinging destination address 192.168.100.100, specify:

ping -I 192.168.1.2 192.168.100.100

NOTE:

To use the management address as the source address for a copy, you must specify both the source and destination addresses on the copy command.

To list the current management address for the Ethernet interface, if any, use the eth list command. To set a management address for the WAN interface, see remote setmgmtipaddr.
