NOTE: If you are using bare metal provisioning (BMP) to configure the switch, you can connect to a network to locate a DHCP server. BMP allows the C9010 to search the network for a DHCP server from which it can receive a Dell Networking OS image and startup configuration file with initial software settings, including IP address. For more information about BMP, refer to the Dell Networking Open Automation Guide: Configuration and Command Line Reference. Accessing the Switch Remotely You can configure the C9010 so that it can be accessed remotely over a Telnet connection. The C9010 uses a dedicated management port on the master RPM and a management routing table that is separate from the IP routing table. To configure the switch for Telnet access: 1. Configure an IP address for the management port. 2. Configure a management route with a default gateway. 3. Configure a user name and password. Configuring the Management Port IP Address To access the switch remotely, manually assign IP addresses to the management ports. You can later configure the use of a DHCP server to automatically assign IP addresses. NOTE: Assign different IP addresses to each RPM management port. 1.

Accessing the Switch Remotely
You can configure the C9010 so that it can be accessed remotely over a Telnet connection.
The C9010 uses a dedicated management port on the master RPM and a management routing table that
is separate from the IP routing table. To configure the switch for Telnet access:
1.
Configure an IP address for the management port.
2.
Configure a management route with a default gateway.
3.
Configure a user name and password.
Configuring the Management Port IP Address
To access the switch remotely, manually assign IP addresses to the management ports. You can later
configure the use of a DHCP server to automatically assign IP addresses.
NOTE:
Assign different IP addresses to each RPM management port.
1.
Enter INTERFACE mode for the Management port.
CONFIGURATION mode
Dell(conf)# interface ManagementEthernet 0/0
2.
Assign an IPv4 or IPv6 address to the interface.
INTERFACE mode
Dell(conf-if-ma-0/0)# ip address {
ipv4-address
|
ipv6-address
}/
mask
•
ip-address
is an address in dotted-decimal format (A.B.C.D).
•
mask
is a subnet mask in /prefix-length format (/ xx).
3.
Enable the interface.
INTERFACE mode
Dell(conf-if-ma-0/0)# no shutdown
Configuring a Management Route
Define a path from the C9010 to the network from which you are accessing the switch remotely.
Management routes are separate from IP routes and are only used to manage the C9010 through the
management port.
•
Configure an IPv4 or IPv6 management route to the network from which you are accessing the
switch.
CONFIGURATION mode
Dell(conf)# management route {
ipv4-address
|
ipv6-address
}/
mask gateway
–
ip-address
is the network address in dotted-decimal format (A.B.C.D).
