Cisco 3750-X access to management console other than fa0

duckasylum · ‎07-01-2019

I am trying to access the ssh console from a port other than fa0. This switch will be the one that connects all other devices' management interface together (some switches and some IBM IPMI interfaces ) and I don't see a reason to keep the console accessible only from fa0 (eventually I would like to shut down the interface). How can I configure the switch so that I can access the ssh console from i.e gi 1/0/1?

Thank You all in advance!

Hi there,

You simply need to configure an SVI on the switch and make sure the VLAN is reachable from where ever your connecting PC is, ie:

!
vlan 2
  name MGMT_VLAN
!
int vlan 2
  ip address 10.10.2.254 255.255.255.0
!
int gi1/0/1
  switchport mode access
  switchport access vlan 2
  spanning-tree portfast
  no shut
!

With the above config connect your PC to gi1/0/1, configure its wired interface with an address in the 10.10.2.0 /24 subnet and then SSH to 10.10.2.254 .

cheers,

Seb.
