   3. Set the <ethX> device.

      $ sudo netAdm add --device=<ethX> --address=<IP Address in External management Network> --netmask=<Netmask> --onboot=yes --bootproto=none

      Note:

      Here, ethX is the interface associated with the XMI network.
   4. Add the default route for ethX.

      $ sudo netAdm add --route=default -–gateway=<gateway address for the External management network> --device=<ethX>

   5. Ping the XMI gateway for network verification.

      $ ping –c3 <Gateway of External Management Network>
