Assigning static routes to the management interface 117

Variable definitions

Use the data in the following table to use the boot config net mgmt ip and sys mgmt-virtual-ipcommands.

Variable

Value

cpu-slot <value>

Specifies the Switch Fabric/Central

 

Processor Unit (SF/CPU) module

 

(8691SF/CPU or 8692SF/CPU), slot

 

5 or slot 6. If you do not specify a

 

slot number for the IP address, the

 

switch assigns the slot number to the

 

currently active management module.

 

 

<ipaddr> <mask>

Specifies the IP address and

 

subnet mask of the management

 

port (for example, 10.127.231.15

 

255.255.255.0).

ATTENTION

You cannot assign an address of 0.0.0.0/0.

Assigning static routes to the management interface

Assign a static route to specify a gateway address route for the management interface. You can specify up to four static routes for the management interface. For more information about static routes, see Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 Configuration — OSPF and RIP, NN46205-522.

Prerequisites

You must log on to the Global Configuration mode in the NNCLI.

Procedure steps

Step Action

1Specify a gateway address route by using the following command:

boot config net mgmt route <netaddr/mask> <gateway>

2Save the changes to the boot.cfg and config.cfg files.
