Management Interface Configuration (SONiC)

Management Interface Configuration (SONiC)

Configure the management interface (eth0) for network administration in SONiC.


Default Configuration:

By default, eth0 uses DHCP to dynamically obtain an IP address from a DHCP server.

Static IP Configuration:

Command Line:
sudo config interface ip add eth0 <IP_Address/Subnet> 

Verification:

Use ifconfig eth0  address to verify settings.

SSH Access:

Remote login using:

ssh admin@<Management_Interface_IP>

This allows secure access and further network management.
