Configure Network Management on the SP

Language:

dhcp is enabled by default, so the SP can get the network configuration automatically if there is a DHCP server on the network.

The names and addresses in the following examples are only for demonstration.

Note - Management network configuration is not needed if you plan to only use a serial console to access the switch. However, configuring network management will allow multiple administrators to manage the switch remotely.
