Procedure 14-21.3: Configure MGMT LAN serviceport for out-of-band connectivity using DHCP/BootP
Overview
Use this procedure to configure the MGMT LAN serviceport for out-of-band connectivity.
Important!
The VLNC40/VLNC42/VLNC60/VLNC61/VLNC64 is initially configured for local out-of-band connectivity through the MGMT LAN serviceport . You can keep the MGMT LAN port default IP address (169.254.1.1) and use the MGMT LAN port locally for out-of-band connectivity to the VLNC40/VLNC42/VLNC60/VLNC61/VLNC64, if desired.
If the MGMT LAN port is to be used for remote connectivity through the Ethernet network, it must be connected to the LAN Ethernet network and have the proper configuration settings for the network.
The network port and serviceport IP address information need to be in different IP subnets. The network port and serviceport IP address information must be in different IP subnets. Only one gateway may be defined for remote access, either on the network port or the serviceport.
You can use this procedure to change the default configuration settings for the MGMT LAN serviceport.
Steps
1 |
From the User EXEC prompt [(ALU 1850TSS-5-xx) >], enter enable to enter the user privilege mode. No password is required at this time, just press Enter. Result: The user privilege prompt (ALU 1850TSS-5-xx) # displays. |
2 |
Enter show serviceport command to obtain information about the MGMT LAN serviceport default configuration settings. |
3 |
Configure the DHCP/BootP server with the following information: |
4 |
Use the serviceport protocol {none | bootp | dhcp} command to specify the serviceport configuration protocol to be used. Example: serviceport protocol dhcp. |
5 |
Connect the MGMT LAN port to the LAN network. After the VLNC40/VLNC42/VLNC60/VLNC61/VLNC64 MGMT LAN port is connected to the network, it periodically sends requests to a BootP/DHCP server until a response is received. Result: The VLNC40/VLNC42/VLNC60/VLNC61/VLNC64 is configured with the information from the DHCP/BootP server. |
6 |
After configuration, use the show serviceport command to view network parameters. If the IP address is not assigned, use the show logging buffered command to find out the reason for DHCP failing to install the IP address. Check if the network IP address is already assigned (show network) and on the same subnet as the DHCP offered IP address. You will have to reprovision one of the IP addresses. |
