Command Mode Interface (Out-of-Band) Configuration mode User Guidelines When setting the netmask/prefix length on an IPv4 address, a space is required between the address and the mask or prefix length. Setting an IP address on the out-of-band port enables switch management over the out-ofband port. The ip address none command clears the currently assigned IPv4 address and sets the IP address configuration method to none. The no ip address command clears the currently assigned IPv4 address and sets the IP address configuration method to the default (dhcp). A out-of-band interface configured for DHCP address assignment will send the following text string in DHCP Option 60 of the DHCPDISCOVER message to assist the DHCP server in identification of the switch: "Dell;;;". The left and right angle brackets and quotation marks are not sent. An example option 60 string might be: Dell;N2128PX-ON;6.5.2.0;TW06G93K282986CR0040 In order to ensure the security of the switches from intruders, it is strongly recommended that the out-of-band interface be isolated on a physically separate network from the in-band ports. This command is only valid for switches equipped with an out-of-band interface. Example The following examples configure the out-of-band interface with an IP address 131.108.1.27 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0 and the same IP address with prefix length of 24 bits. console(config)#interface out-of-band console(config-if)#ip address 131.108.1.27 255.255.255.0 console(config-if)#ip address 131.108.1.27 /24 Switch Management Commands 2120
