A unique IP address is configured on the OOB management interface of each switch to be added to the SmartFabric. A management route is also configured if routing is used on the OOB management network.
Note: Configure a unique OOB management IP address for each switch. The management route should not be 0.0.0.0/0, as it may interfere with the data network’s default route. Use a specific destination prefix, as shown in the example below.
Run the following command on each switch to be added to the SmartFabric:
OS10# configure terminal
OS10(config)# interface mgmt 1/1/1
OS10(conf-if-ma-1/1/1)# no ip address dhcp
OS10(conf-if-ma-1/1/1)# ip address 100.67.127.26/24
OS10(conf-if-ma-1/1/1)# no shutdown
OS10(conf-if-ma-1/1/1)# exit
OS10(config)# management route 100.67.0.0/16 100.67.76.254
OS10(config)# end
OS10# write memory
Other global settings may also be configured here, such as ip name-server and ntp server if used by the switch. These settings are not required for the deployment example in this guide. The hostname of the switch may be configured at the CLI or in the SFS UI. In this guide, the SFS UI is used.
