Chapter 3: Initial System Configuration
3.6 Management Network Configuration
The B096-048/032/016 Console Server Management Switches and B094-008-2E-M-F / B094-008-2E-V Console Server
each have an additional network port that can be configured as a Management LAN port or as a failover/ OOB access port.
3.6.1 Enable the Management LAN
The B096-048/032/016 Console Server Management Switches and B094-008-2E-M-F / B094-008-2E-V Console Server
have dual Ethernet ports which can be configured to provide a management LAN gateway. With this configuration, the
B096-048/032/016 and B094-008-2E-M-F / B094-008-2E-V provide firewall, router and DHCP server features and you can
connect managed hosts to this management LAN.
These features are all disabled by default. To configure the Management LAN gateway:
• Select the
Management LAN Interface
page on the
System: IP
menu and uncheck
Disable
• Configure the
IP Address
and
Subnet Mask
for the Management LAN (but leave the
DNS
fields blank)
• Click
Apply
Note
: With the B094-008-2E-M-F, B096-048, B094-008-2E-V, B096-032 and B096-016 the second Ethernet port can
be configured as either a gateway port or it can be configured as an OOB/Failover port - but not both. So ensure you did not
allocate the
Management LAN
as the
Failover Interface
when you configured the principal
Network
connection on the
System: IP
menu
