About Management Interface Configuration

The management interface on the switch allows multiple simultaneous Telnet or SNMP sessions. You can remotely configure the switch through the management interface, but first you must configure IP version 4 parameters (IP address, subnet mask) or an IP version 6 (IPv6) address and prefix length so that the switch is reachable.

To configure the mgmt0 Ethernet interface using Device Managerfor IPv6, follow these steps:

  1. Select Interface > Mgmt > Mgmt0.
  2. Enter the description.
  3. Select the administrative state of the interface.
  4. Check the CDP check box to enable CDP.
  5. Enter the IP address mask.
  6. Click Apply to apply the changes.
