Configuring Outband Management
Configuring Outband Management
This topic describes how to connect the MA5616 to the maintenance terminal through an
outband management port, log in to the MA5616, and then manage the MA5616.
Prerequisites
You must log in to the system through a local serial port. For the configuration
process, see Configuring Management Through a Local Serial Port.
The IP address of the maintenance terminal must be properly configured.
NOTE:
In the following operations, the configurations of the MA5616 must be performed through a
local serial port.
Networking - LAN
Figure 1 shows an example network for configuring outband management over a LAN in
remote login mode.
Figure 1 Example network for configuring outband management over a LAN in remote login
mode
In this example network, the IP address of the maintenance Ethernet port of the MA5616 and
the IP address of the maintenance terminal are in the same network segment. You can also
manage the MA5616 through an outband channel by directly connecting the maintenance
Ethernet port of the maintenance terminal to the maintenance Ethernet port on the control
board of the MA5616.
Table 1 provides the data plan for configuring outband management over a LAN in remote
login mode.

Item Data
Maintenance Ethernet port of the IP address: 10.10.20.2/24
MA5616
Ethernet port of the maintenance IP address: 10.10.20.3/24
terminal
Networking - WAN
Figure 2 shows an example network for configuring outband management over a WAN in
remote login mode.
Figure 2 Example network for configuring outband management over a WAN in remote
login mode
In this example network, the MA5616 is connected to the WAN through the maintenance
Ethernet port. You can manage the MA5616 remotely from the maintenance terminal.
Table 2 provides the data plan for configuring outband management over a WAN in remote
login mode.

Item Data
Maintenance Ethernet port of the IP address: 10.10.20.2/24
MA5616
Ethernet port of the maintenance IP address: 10.10.21.3/24 (10.18.100.200)

Configuration Flowchart
Figure 3 shows the flowchart for outband management in remote login mode.
2. In the meth mode, run the ip address command to configure the IP address and subnet
mask of the maintenance Ethernet port of the MA5616.
NOTE:
The default IP address of the maintenance Ethernet port is 10.11.104.2, and the subnet
mask is 255.255.255.0. You can configure the IP address of the maintenance Ethernet
port based on the actual network planning.
huawei(config)#interface meth 0
huawei(config-if-meth0)#ip address 10.10.20.2 24

ESTAS SON LAS IP DEL U2000 10.50.99.130, 10.50.99.150
3. Add a route.
If the configuration environment is set up as shown in Figure 1, you need not add a
route.
If the remote WAN management environment is set up as shown in Figure 2, run the
ip route-static command to add a route to the next hop.
4. huawei(config-if-meth0)#quit
huawei(config)#ip route-static 10.10.21.0 24 10.10.20.254

Choose Start > Run on the maintenance terminal. In the Open address bar, enter
telnet 10.10.20.2 (10.10.20.2 is the IP address of the maintenance Ethernet port of
the MA5616), as shown in Figure 4 (considering the Windows OS as an example).
Click OK, and the telnet interface is displayed.
On the telnet interface, enter the user name and the password. By default, the super
user name is root and the password is mduadmin. When the login is successful, the
system displays the following information:
>>User name:root
>>User password:
NOTE:
To improve the system security, please modify your password after first login. You
can run the terminal user password command to modify your password.
Result
After logging in to the MA5616, you can manage the MA5616. For instructions on CLI, see
CLI Operation Characteristics.
