Default Gateway
In order to configure manually the default gateway, use the “ip route” command, with “0.0.0.0”
as prefix and mask. The next-hop address must be within the range of one of the IP interfaces on
the system.

In-Band Management
In-band management is a management path passing through the data ports. In-band management
can be created over one of the VLANs in the systems.
The in-band management feature does not require any license. However, it works only for system
profiles VPI and Ethernet. It cannot be enabled with IP Routing or IP Proxy-ARP.
To set an in-band management channel:
Step 1.
Create a VLAN. Run:
Step 2.
Create a VLAN interface. Run:
Step 3.
Enter the VLAN interface configuration mode and configure L3 attributes. Run:
If a user connects through SSH, runs the wizard and turns off DHCP, the connection is
immediately terminated as the management interface loses its IP address.
