Command Syntax and Usage

add <mgmt network address> <mgmt network mask>

Adds a defined network through which switch access is allowed through Telnet, SNMP, RIP, or the Alteon OS browser-based interface. A range of IP addresses is produced when used with a network mask address. Specify an IP address and mask address in dotted-decimal notation.

Note: If you configure the management network without including the switch interfaces, it will cause the Firewall Load Balancing health checks to fail and will create a “Network Down” state on the network.

rem <mgmt network address> <mgmt network mask>

Removes a defined network, which consists of a management network address and a management network mask address.

cur

Displays the current configuration.

clear

Clears the current management network definitions.
