HP UX 11i v2 Networking Software manual Interface mgmt-ethernet, Example

Usage Guidelines: Theno gateway ipcommand configures the default gateway IP address of the out-of-band Ethernet Management port.

Using the no keyword disables the gateway indicated by ip and resets the gateway IP address to all zeros (0.0.0.0.0).

Thehelpcommand displays the command help. See “gateway” (page 198)

Thehistorycommand displays all the commands executed during the current CLI session. See “history” (page 199)

no ip address ip configures the IP address of the out-of-band Ethernet port. A static address that will be used by hosts on the network to connect to the Ethernet Management port. Once enabled, hosts on the network use this address to run CLI, Element Manager, and SNMP software. mask is the subnet mask for the IP address (Element Manager GUI is not supported in initial release of HP InfiniBand).

The Ethernet Management port must be enabled and its IP and gateway addresses must be assigned before it may be used to run the CLI or Element Manager. Some gateway functions are not supported by HP InfiniBand; Element Manager GUI is not supported in initial release of HP InfiniBand.

The Ethernet Management port does not have to be specifically identified, like the ports of expansion modules. This is because there is only one active Ethernet Management port on the chassis.

Use no shutdown to disable/enable the Ethernet Management port.

Use the gateway command after this command to configure the IP address of the gateway for the Ethernet Management port. Theno gateway ipcommand configures the default gateway IP address of the out-of-band Ethernet Management port (some gateway functions are not supported by HP InfiniBand).

Use the shutdown command on the line following this command to shutdown the ethernet management port. Follow this command with no shutdown to enable the ethernet management port.

Example:

HP-IB# configure

HP-IB(config)# interface mgmt-ethernet HP-IB(config-if-mgmt-ethernet)# ip address 10.3.106.25 255.255.255.0
