Configuring Management Interfaces (CLI)

Use the following procedure to configure management interfaces.

1. Go to configuration net, and then enter datalinks.

   hostname:> configuration net
   hostname:configuration net> datalinks

2. Enter show to view the datalink(s).

   hostname:configuration net datalinks> show
   Datalinks:
   
   DATALINK        CLASS        LINKS        STATE        ID        LABEL
   igb0            device       igb0         up           -         Untitled Datalink

3. Create a VNIC for the management datalink by going to the vnic context and setting its label to indicate that the link is for management, and optionally assign a VLAN ID. Enter commit and then enter cd .. to return to the correct context for the next step.

   hostname:configuration net datalinks> vnic
   hostname:configuration net datalinks vnic (uncommitted)> set links=igb0
                             links = igb0 (uncommitted)
   hostname:configuration net datalinks vnic (uncommitted)> set label=management-datalink-1
                             label = management-datalink-1 (uncommitted)
   hostname:configuration net datalinks vnic (uncommitted)> commit
   hostname:configuration net datalinks vnic> cd ..

   To assign a VLAN ID:

   hostname:configuration net datalinks vnic> set id=100
                                 id = 100 (uncommitted)
   hostname:configuration net datalinks vnic (uncommitted)> commit
   hostname:configuration net datalinks vnic> cd ..

4. If clustered controllers, create a VNIC for the second management datalink by going to the vnic context and setting a unique label, and optionally assign a VLAN ID. Enter commit and then enter cd .. to return to the correct context for the next step.

   hostname:configuration net datalinks> vnic
   hostname:configuration net datalinks vnic (uncommitted)> set links=igb0
                             links = igb0 (uncommitted)
   hostname:configuration net datalinks vnic (uncommitted)> set label=management-datalink-2
                             label = management-datalink-2 (uncommitted)
   hostname:configuration net datalinks vnic (uncommitted)> commit
   hostname:configuration net datalinks vnic> cd ..

   To assign a VLAN ID:

   hostname:configuration net datalinks vnic (uncommitted)> set id=100
                                 id = 100 (uncommitted)
   hostname:configuration net datalinks vnic> commit
   hostname:configuration net datalinks vnic> cd ..

5. Create an IP interface for the controller and assign it to the VNIC.

   hostname:configuration net> interfaces
   hostname:configuration net interfaces> ip
   hostname:configuration net interfaces ip (uncommitted)> set v4addrs=192.168.1.101/24
                                 v4addrs = 192.168.1.101/24 (uncommitted)
   hostname:configuration net interfaces ip (uncommitted)> set label=management-controller-1
                                 label = management-controller-1 (uncommitted)
   hostname:configuration net interfaces ip (uncommitted)> set links=vnic1
                                 links = vnic1 (uncommitted)
   hostname:configuration net interfaces ip (uncommitted)> commit

6. If clustered controllers, create an IP interface and assign it to the VNIC for the second controller. After entering commit, enter done.

   hostname:configuration net interfaces> ip
   hostname:configuration net interfaces ip (uncommitted)> set v4addrs=192.168.1.102/24
                                 v4addrs = 192.168.1.102/24 (uncommitted)
   hostname:configuration net interfaces ip (uncommitted)> set label=management-controller-2
                                 label = management-controller-2 (uncommitted)
   hostname:configuration net interfaces ip (uncommitted)> set links=vnic2
                                 links = vnic2 (uncommitted)
   hostname:configuration net datalinks vnic (uncommitted)> commit
   hostname:configuration net datalinks> done

7. Configure routing for the first controller. If clustered controllers, configure routing for the second controller. After entering commit, enter done.

   First controller:

   hostname:configuration net> routing
   hostname:configuration net routing> create
   hostname:configuration net route (uncommitted)> set destination=0.0.0.0
                           destination = 0.0.0.0 (uncommitted)
   hostname:configuration net route (uncommitted)> set mask=0
                             mask = 0 (uncommitted)
   hostname:configuration net route (uncommitted)> set interface=vnic1
                         interface = vnic1 (uncommitted)
   hostname:configuration net route (uncommitted)> set gateway=192.168.1.1
                            gateway = 192.168.1.1 (uncommitted)
   hostname:configuration net route (uncommitted)> set family=IPv4
                             family = IPv4
   hostname:configuration net route (uncommitted)> commit
   hostname:configuration net route> done

   Second controller:

   hostname:configuration net> routing
   hostname:configuration net routing> create
   hostname:configuration net route (uncommitted)> set destination=0.0.0.0
                           destination = 0.0.0.0 (uncommitted)
   hostname:configuration net route (uncommitted)> set mask=0
                             mask = 0 (uncommitted)
   hostname:configuration net route (uncommitted)> set interface=vnic2
                         interface = vnic2 (uncommitted)
   hostname:configuration net route (uncommitted)> set gateway=192.168.1.1
                            gateway = 192.168.1.1 (uncommitted)
   hostname:configuration net route (uncommitted)> set family=IPv4
                             family = IPv4
   hostname:configuration net route (uncommitted)> commit
   hostname:configuration net route> done

8. Destroy the default interface, which is named Untitled Interface, enter cd .. and then enter done.

   ---

   Note -  When an interface is deleted, all routes associated with the interface are also removed.

   ---

   hostname:configuration net> interfaces
   hostname:configuration net interfaces> show
   Interfaces:
       
   INTERFACE   STATE     CLASS  LINKS   ADDRS                  LABEL
   igb0        up        ip     igb0    192.168.1.101/24       Untitled Interface
   vnic1       duplicate ip     vnic1   192.168.1.101/24       management-controller-1
   vnic2       duplicate ip     vnic2   192.168.1.102/24       management-controller-2
   hostname:configuration net interfaces> destroy igb0
   This will destroy "igb0" and any networking objects exclusively built over it.
   
   Are you sure? (Y/N) y
   
   hostname:configuration net interfaces> cd ..
   hostname:configuration net> done
