Configuring Management Interfaces

If you did not set a management interface during initial configuration, configure a network interface card (NIC) port as a management interface. A management interface is a network interface with administrative access.

All standalone controllers should have at least one NIC port configured as a management interface. All cluster installations should have at least one NIC port on each controller configured as a management interface.

Set the following configuration for clustered controllers:

  • The NIC instance number must be unique on each controller.

  • The management interfaces should be locked.

A management interface enables BUI connections on port 215 and CLI connections on ssh port 22.

To configure management interfaces and lock cluster management interfaces, use the following procedures:

  • Configuring a Management Interface - BUI, CLI

  • Locking a Cluster Management Interface - BUI, CLI
