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.
...
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. |
