Symptoms
With VLAN management enabled on MXG610s IOMs, querying the IOM IP Address using ipaddrshow results in the address as 0.0.0.0, even though the IOM remains contactable. This also has implications if the IOM is in Access Gateway mode, and is queried using agshow like in the example below:
Agshow
10:00:50:eb:1a:61:fc:d2 24 172.28.116.213 v8.2.3 local No rack116-brdm6505-c2
10:00:88:94:71:60:e1:24 32 0.0.0.0 v9.1.1b remote No MXG610_C2
10:00:c4:f5:7c:7f:58:8a 24 172.28.117.213 v8.2.3 remote No rack117-brdm6505-c2Cause
Dell Engineering has confirmed that this is working as designed. FC-IOM VLAN support was exclusively designed for the MXG610s IOM and wanted to prevent multiple management interfaces accessing the same database.
Resolution
If the user wants to query using CLI, run the following command on the MXG610s:
admin> configshow | grep vlan fred.vlan.dhcpv4enabled:0 fred.vlan.dhcpv6enabled:1 fred.vlan.gateway:10.155.176.1 fred.vlan.id:848 fred.vlan.ip:10.155.183.69 fred.vlan.ipv4enabled:1Dell Engineering however recommends that all management of the MXG610s be done using the OME-M UI.
Additional Information
This also impacts creating a self-signed certificate.
