Procedure 14-21.4: Configure MGMT LAN serviceport for out-of-band connectivity manually
Overview
Use this procedure to configure the MGMT LAN serviceport for out-of-band connectivity.
Important!
The VLNC4x/VLNC6x 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 VLNC4x/VLNC6x, 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 |
Use the serviceport protocol {none | bootp | dhcp} command to specify the serviceport configuration protocol as none. Example: serviceport protocol none. |
4 |
Use the serviceport ip command to enter the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address (if required) being used for the serviceport. The IP Address and gateway must be on the same subnet. Gateway is an optional parameter. 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. Example: serviceport ip <ipaddress> <netmask> [<gateway>]. If this command fails, you may get an error message if the serviceport IP address has already been assigned and this IP address for the network ports is in the same subnet. You will have to reprovision one of the IP addresses. |

If required, save the configuration changes using the write memory command. At the user privilege prompt, enter write memory. Required only if you want the current configuration information to be preserved across reboots. Result: System message indicates: This operation may take a few minutes. Management interfaces will not be available during this time. Are you sure you want to save (y/n)? |
6 |
Enter y to execute the command. Result: After a few seconds, a confirmation message appears: Configuration Saved! |
7 |
Connect the MGMT LAN port to the LAN network. |
8 |
After configuration, use the show serviceport command to view network parameters. |
