Initial configuration of the switch requires user to connect either a terminal or a computer to the switch console port. Once user gets access to the switch and establishes CLI (command-line interface) over the serial console connection, then assign an IP address to the management port and create an IP route to the gateway. Keep the following points in mind:
- The console port provides local serial access to the switch.
- The Ethernet management port is used for out-of-band network management tasks. Before using the management port for the first time, an IP address must be assigned to that port.

For detail of configuration in OVS mode, please refer to /wiki/spaces/PicOS44sp/pages/4295880Configuring IP addressing in OVS mode.
The management IP address is used to maintain and manage the device. You can configure the management interface eth0 with static IP addresses or through dynamic address allocation using DHCP. If the static IP address is not assigned, the system will try to obtain the management port IP address dynamically from the DHCP server by default.
NOTE: When switching from OVS mode to L2/L3 mode, the static IP address of the management port configured before will still be used if there is no user configuration for it in the new mode. |
