Sets the IP address and subnet mask for the manage-
ment interface.
3
SET SYSTEM GATEWAY 10.51.66.1 Sets the system gateway.
4
Set system DNS (if not already set)
SET SYSTEM DNS 10.4.5.7,10.52.7.50
This step is optional.

Interface.......................... ETH:0 (MGMT)
IP State........................... Enabled
Provisioning
IP Address...................... 10.52.66.220
Subnet Mask..................... 255.255.255.0

This shows a dedicated MGMT interface has been
configured.

default gateway, DNS server, and
Domain Name, and so these
parameters do not appear on the SET
