IP Addressing Commands 50120IP Addressing CommandsInterfaces on the PowerConnect switches support a variety of capabilities tosupport management of the switch. In addition to performing switching androuting of network traffic, PowerConnect switches act as a host formanagement of the switch. Commands in this category allow the networkoperator to configure the local host address, utilize the embedded DHCPclient to obtain an address, resolve names to addresses using DNS servers, anddetect address conflicts on the local subnet.There are two management interface types on PowerConnect switches. In-band interfaces allow management of the switch through the networkswitching/routing interfaces. Out-of-band management is always through thededicated service port. In-band management interfaces can employ a varietyof protection mechanisms including VLAN assignment and ManagementACLs. The out-of-band port does not support such protection mechanismsand, therefore, it is recommended that the service port only be connected to aphysically segregated management network.Commands in this ChapterThis chapter explains the following commands:clear host ip hostclear ip address-conflict-detect ip name-server– ipv6 address (Interface Config)ip address (Out-of-Band) ipv6 address dhcpip address-conflict-detect run ipv6 enable (Interface Config)ip address dhcp (Interface Config) show hostsip default-gateway show ip address-conflictip domain-lookup show ip helper-addressip domain-name –
