Chapter 20 Configuring Interfaces
Management Interfaces
Step 1 Expand Switches > Interfaces and then select FC Physical. You see the interface configuration in the
Information pane.
Step 2 Click the BB Credit tab.
Step 3 In the Extended column, set the extended BB_credits for the selected interface.
Step 4 Click Apply Changes.
Management Interfaces
You can remotely configure the switch through the management interface (mgmt0). To configure a
connection on the mgmt0 interface, you must configure either the IP version 4 (IPv4) parameters (IP
address, subnet mask, and default gateway) or the IP version 6 (IPv6) parameters so that the switch is
reachable.
This section describes the management interfaces and includes the following topics:
• About Management Interfaces, page 20-29
• Configuring Management Interfaces, page 20-29
About Management Interfaces
Before you begin to configure the management interface manually, obtain the switch’s IPv4 address and
subnet mask, or the IPv6 address.
The management port (mgmt0) is autosensing and operates in full-duplex mode at a speed of
10/100/1000 Mbps. Autosensing supports both the speed and the duplex mode. On a Supervisor-1
module, the default speed is 100 Mbps and the default duplex mode is auto. On a Supervisor-2 module,
the default speed is auto and the default duplex mode is auto.
Note You need to explicitly configure a default gateway to connect to the switch and send IP packets or add a
route for each subnet.
Configuring Management Interfaces
To configure the mgmt0 Ethernet interface using Fabric Manager, follow these steps:
Step 1 Select a VSAN in the Logical Domains pane.
Step 2 Expand Switches > Interfaces and then select Management.
You see the interface configuration in the Information pane.
Step 3 Click the General tab.
Step 4 Set the IP Address/Mask field.
Step 5 Set Admin to up.
Step 6 (Optional) Set other configuration parameters using the other tabs.
