Management Interface Configuration
Overview
The management interface module allows you to specify management interface parameters, perform
ping operations, and configure static routes and DNS servers.
Management Interface Parameters
Management interface parameters include the IP address and mask of the management interface, and
the status of HTTP, HTTPS, SSH, and Telnet. A device may have multiple management interfaces. You
can log in to the device through any of the management interfaces to configure, manage, and maintain
the device.
Ping
You can use the ping command to check whether a device is reachable.
A successful ping operation involves the following steps:
1) The source device sends an ICMP echo request (ECHO-REQUEST) to the destination device.
2) The destination device responds by sending an ICMP echo reply (ECHO-REPLY) to the source
device after receiving the ICMP echo request.
3) The source device displays related statistics after receiving the reply.
If the source device does not receive an ICMP echo reply from the destination device before the timeout
timer expires, it displays output information and statistics during the ping operation. If the source device
receives an ICMP echo reply before the timeout timer expires, it displays the bytes of the echo reply,
packet sequence number, Time to Live (TTL), response time, and statistics during the ping operation.
Statistics during the ping operation include the number of packets sent, number of echo replies received,
percentage of packets lost, and the minimum, maximum and average round trip times.
Static Routes
You can manage a device through multiple management stations. The device reports detected
anomalies and network attacks to the management stations. You can manage the device from remote
management stations, or allow the management stations to receive and analyze logs generated by the
device, so as to detect and prevent network security threats effectively.
The route management module manages routes from the device to the management stations. You can
establish a routing table on the device by manually configuring static routes. Each entry in the routing
table specifies the next hop to reach a specific management station.
The device selects the default route for a packet only when it cannot find any matching entry in the
routing table. A static route with its destination IP address and subnet mask configured as 0.0.0.0
serves as a default route.
