Welcome to Dell Technologies connects MDS,
Cisco how two series, how to configure the management interface in Cisco reference Dell Knowledge article number 180085 This video was created to remotely configure the switch through the management interface MGMT zero to configure a connection remotely. A user must configure the IP parameters such as IP address, subnet mask and default gateway from the command line so that the switch is reachable.
The user can manually configure the management interface from the CLI and configure the MGMT zero interface with either I PV four address parameters or an I PV six address for director class switches or dual supervisors. Users only need to configure the M GMT zero interface on the active supervisor module. When a supervisor module switch over occurs, the new active supervisor module uses the same configuration for the MGM T zero interface.
This video presents the following procedure to configure the cisco switch management interface in command line. Please take a moment to review the information presented before you begin configuring the management interface manually obtain the switch's IP address and the IP subnet mask. Be advised the user needs to explicitly configure a default gateway to connect to the switch and send IP packets or add a route for each subnet. This demo is set up with MDS, Cisco 9509 switch which has dual supervisors.
The steps implemented in the demo are when the switch is already configured with management port IP and when the user wants to change it for new configuration, the user needs to perform the steps using serial console connection. Enter into global config mode, enter M GMT zero and enter into interface configuration mode.
Enter IPV four or IPV six address enable the interface if it was disabled prior to this configuration, return to global configuration mode, configure the IPV four address for the default gateway display the M GMT zero interface information to validate if changes made are in effect, you can also view IP address of default gateway with show IP root command, save the changes from running config two startup. Config refer to the following.
For more information, the documents are available on DELL EMC support site knowledge base article 180085 is available on the support forum. Both video and content are based on the NXOS version eight dot X configuration guide. This document is available on the DELL EMC support site and can refer subtopic configuring the management interface.
Thank you for watching
