Using the management port
1
• If an explicit route to the destination server is not known and only the data and management
default routes are available, Brocade Virtual ADX picks an available data interface and its
source address to reach the destination. This default behavior may be altered by explicitly
specifying the source interface.
The source port can be specified for most management protocols, such as RADIUS, TACACS, SSH,
Telnet and TFTP. When both the management default gateway and data default gateway are
available, the data default gateway is taken by default. If a particular protocol is specified, then the
corresponding source port is selected. For example, for ICMP the source port is selected based on
the destination IP subnet.
Configuring the default gateway for the
management interface
By default DHCP is enabled on the management interface (mgmt1). If you want to assign a static
IP address to the management port, use the following command.
[root@VirtualADX ~]# route add default gw 10.1.1.3
Syntax: route add default gw gw_ip
The gw_ip variable specifies the IP address of the management gateway.
NOTE
The management IP address must be configured from the Linux console.
To delete the default gateway, enter the following command.
[root@VirtualADX ~]# route del default gw 10.1.1.3
Configuration
To select the source-interface for management protocols, you can use commands such as the
following:
1. Select the source port IP for management protocols. For example:
Virtual ADX(config)# ip radius source-interface ethernet 1
Syntax: ip interface-name source-interface interface
The interface-name variable specifies the interface; for example RADIUS, TACACS, SSH, Telnet,
and TFTP. The interface variable specifies the interface type; for example ethernet, mgmt1,
loopback, pos or ve.
2. Specify the trap source. For example:
Virtual ADX(config)# snmp-server trap-source ve 11
Syntax: snmp-server trap-source interface
The interface variable specifies the interface type; for example, ethernet, mgmt1, loopback,
pos or ve.
3. Specify the logging source interface. For example:
Virtual ADX(config)# logging source-interface mgmt1
Syntax: logging source-interface interface
